This memo describes an HTTP-based process for obtaining information

about a resource identified by a URI.  The 'information about a

resource' - a resource descriptor - typically provides machine-

readable information that aims to assist and enhance the interaction

with the resource.  This memo only defines the process for locating

and obtaining the descriptor, but leaves the descriptor format and

its interpretation out of scope.
