Difference between 'page' and 'resource' in DBpedia URLs

Question

When I was digging DBpedia and trying to learn more about Linked Data, I have seen that DBpedia is redirecting from http://dbpedia.org/resource/Rome to http://dbpedia.org/page/Rome.

I wasn't able to find any reason for that and I would like to learn why this is happening.

Answer 1

The /resource/ URI represents the thing.
The /page/ URI represents the human-readable document about the thing.
The /data/ URI represents the machine-readable document about the thing.

(This is the HTTP status code 303 approach. More details.)

So, if you want to say something about the city/comune Rome, you have to use the /resource/ URI.
