[Sigia-l] That stuff we do, ontologically speaking

[Ruth Kaufman]

Resource -- I think it works, and also lends itself to faceted
classification.
I think what Alexander is looking for, now that I understand it a little
better, is along the lines of design patterns that can help him and others
declare and scope the work of content layouts and interaction design. This
is different from classifying or modeling resources. It's more about the
presentation of resources than the resources, themselves -- even if there's
often a 1-1 pairing of resource type and display template.
