| Re: [higgins-dev] Change to IDigitalSubject |

Oops, we were talking about it on the #higgins chat channel, and I forgot it wasn't discussed here.
Well, not much of a debate. I added IResource and ILiteral interfaces sometime back (for attribute value types). Today I finally got around to fleshing out IResource and noticed for the second time that it's almost exactly like IDigitalSubject (just doesn't have a Context). So rather that duplicating the APIs having to do with attributes, name, and type, I proposed a super-interface for that.
We debated between IObject and IEntity. I'm open to other names or solutions if they're better.
