+<p>In the context of PROV-DM, a resource is just a thing in the world. One may take multiple perspectives on such a thing and its situation in the world, fixing some its aspects.</p>
<p> We refer to the example of section <a href="#conceptualization">2.1</a> for a resource (at some URL) and three different perspectives, referred to as entities. Three different entity records can be expressed for this report, which in the PROV-ASN sample below, are expressed within a same account.

<p>Each entity record contains an idenfier that identifies the entity it represents.
In this example, three identifiers were minted, and their prefix uses the URN syntax with "example" namespace.</p>
-<p>Given that the report is a resource denoted by the URI <span class="name">http://example.org/crime.txt</span>, we could simply use this URI as the identifier of an entity. This would avoid us minting new URIs. Hence, the report URI would play a double role: as a URI it denotes a resource accessible at that URI, and as a PROV-DM identifier, it identifies a specific characterization of this report. A given identifier identifies a single entity within the scope of an account. Hence, below, all entities records have been given the same identifier but appear in the scope of different accounts. </p>
