@ResourceSchema(facets=, resources=) @TypeMetadata(name="Resource", description="This is the base type for any Resource", version="1.0.0") @Change(version="1.0.0", description="First Version") public interface Resource extends Entity
Represents a resource, the central entity in the facet-based model.

A resource is composed of one or more Facets, which describe its different aspects. It can also be related to other resources. This interface provides methods for accessing and managing these relationships. For more details, refer to the gCube Facet Based Resource Model Wiki.
