> Why is a picture of some bricks the same as a brick? It isn't. The picture is one *representation* of the bricks. The URI identifies the resource (some bricks), and a GET returns a representation (an image) of those bricks. > Until we get teleportation at the macroscopic level, only information > products (such as money) can be returned by an HTTP GET. All physical things > can only be named by or represented by a URI. Only information can be returned, but anything can be identified. MB -- Mark Baker, Chief Science Officer, Planetfred, Inc.
