Now many people will tell you (indeed I probably will too) that you need to distinguish the statements you make about the thing in the real world from the statements about the document. For example, a URI for me might return a document with some information about me, but the creation date for that document and the creation date for me are two different things. And because you don’t want to get confused it’s better to have a URI for the thing and another one for the document making assertions about the thing. Make sense?
