Word	Meaning
Representation	An encoding/rendering of a resource. The term representation is used to distinguish from an actual resource. For instance, the outcome of a GET operation on a resource results in a representation of the resource being sent back to the requesting agent, not the resource itself. Representation is a very general term and it does not imply a specif encoding. Indeed, a resource can have any number of representations which may be more or less faithful to the original.
Request	A user agent sends a request for interacting with a resource. A request has exactly one target resource. A request is answered with exactly one response.
Response	A server generates a response to a user request.
