Description

An English description of the definition (what distinguishes this sense of the term?).

A Resource is a type of Asset that plays a role in some Activity. Various types (subclasses) of Resource may be defined as required. A Resource class may be used by or consumed by some Activity class; the specification of the Resource class defines the quantity of a particular resource that will be used or consumed by a particular activity. If some resource is used by an activity, then when the activity occurs, there must be some resource of that type that is (partially) not available. If a resource is consumed by an activity, then the resource and the entity it is a manifestation of (partially) ceases to exist by the end of the occurrence.

Resources have the following core properties: o hasCapacity: identifies the Quantity that specifies how much of the resource exists, e.g., its volume, if it is liquid; how much it can hold, if it is an oven. This property may be invariant, depending on the nature of the resource. o hasAvailableCapacity: identifies the Quantity that specifies how much of the resource is available for use at some point in time (i.e., when the particular manifestation exists). o capacityInUse: identifies the portion of capacity in use, by some activities, at the time of the manifestation. o hasAllocation: specifies an Allocation for the resource. This indicates a State and time interval that the Resource has been allocated to. o participatesIn: identifies the Activity that the Resource is being used/consumed by, etc.
