| Representation | An encoding/rendering of a resource. The term representation is used to distinguish from an actual resource. For instance, the outcome of a GET operation on a resource results in a representation of the resource being sent back to the requesting agent, not the resource itself. Representation is a very general term and it does not imply a specif encoding. Indeed, a resource can have any number of representations which may be more or less faithful to the original. |
