based structures, called Collections, for managing and organising based structures, called Collections, for managing and organising
resources, called Members. Collections contain the IRIs of, and resources, called Members. Collections contain the IRIs of, and

Note that when an IRI is used for resource retrieval over HTTP, the
IRI is first converted to a URI according the procedure defined in
[RFC3987] section 3.1. The resource that the IRI locates is the same
as the one located by the URI obtained after converting the IRI.
