What I want to do is to have the same ETag value for each representation of the EO, so when one of the values change, the ETag value will also change, but if the EO have the same value, it will generate the same ETag as another request got.

myEO.snapshotDictionary().hashCode() ?
That would be based on the attributes values only.
hmmm ... not sure how it would deal with relationship though (with regards to faulting).
