+    #  - `#io` must yield and return a IO object in binary mode that represents 
+    #    the current state of the LDP-NR.
+    #    - If a block is passed to `#io`, the implementation MUST allow return a
+    #      writable IO object and that anything written to the stream while 
+    #      yielding is synced with the source in a thread-safe manner.
+    #    - Clients not passing a block to `#io` SHOULD call `#close` on the 
+    #      object after reading it. 
+    #    - If the `#io` object responds to `#to_path` it MUST give the location
+    #      of a file whose contents are identical the IO object's. This supports
+    #      Rack's response body interface.
+    #  - `#delete` remove the contents from the corresponding storage. This MAY
+    #      be a no-op if is undesirable or impossible to delete the contents 
+    #      from the storage medium.
+    #
+    # @see http://www.rubydoc.info/github/rack/rack/master/file/SPEC#The_Body 
+    #   for details about `#to_path` in Rack response bodies.

+  # The base class for all LDP Resources. 
+  #
+  # The internal state of a Resource is specific to a given persistent datastore
+  # (an `RDF::Repository` passed to the initilazer) and is managed through an
+  # internal graph (`#metagraph`). A Resource has:
+  #
+  #   - a `#subject_uri` identifying the Resource.
+  #   - a `#metagraph` containing server-internal properties of the Resource.
+  #
+  # Resources also define a basic set of CRUD operations, identity and current 
+  # state, and a `#to_response`/`#each` method used by Rack & `Rack::LDP` to 
+  # generate an appropriate HTTP response body. 
+  #
+  # `#metagraph' holds internal properites used by the server. It is distinct 
+  # from, and may conflict with, other RDF and non-RDF information about the 
+  # resource (e.g. representations suitable for a response body). Metagraph 
+  # contains a canonical `rdf:type` statement, which specifies the resource's 
+  # interaction model. If the resource is deleted, a flag in metagraph 
+  # indicates this.
+  # 
+  # The contents of `#metagraph` should not be confused with LDP 
+  # server-managed-triples, Those triples are included in the state of the 
+  # resource as represented by the response body. `#metagraph` is invisible to
+  # the client except where a subclass mirrors its contents in the body.
+  #
+  # @example creating a new Resource
+  #   repository = RDF::Repository.new
+  #   resource = RDF::LDP::Resource.new('http://example.org/moomin', repository)
+  #   resource.exists? # => false
