From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15) | Glossary for this source

A data object that can be transferred across a network. Data resources may be available in multiple representations (e.g. multiple languages, data formats, size, resolutions) or vary in other ways.
ending resource

From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27) | Glossary for this source

the destination is the ending resource
information resource

From Architecture of the World Wide Web, Volume One (2004-12-15) | Glossary for this source

internationalized resource identifier

From XPointer Framework (2003-03-25) | Glossary for this source

local resource

From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27) | Glossary for this source

A local resource is an XML element that participates in a link by virtue of having as its parent, or being itself, a linking element
RDF (Resource description framework)

From Requirements for String Identity Matching and String Indexing (1998-07-10) | Glossary for this source

A data model and streaming format for metadata, with search engines and inference engines as potential users. Much metadata is textual, and a basic operation is to decide whether two elements of metadata are the same or not. For consistent behavior, string identity matching is necessary.
RDF (Resource description framework)

From Glossary of "Weaving the Web" (1999-07-23) | Glossary for this source

A framework for constructing logical languages that can work together in the Semantic Web. A way of using XML for data rather than just documents.
RDF resource

From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15) | Glossary for this source

An object or element being described by RDF expressions is a resource. An RDF resource is typically identified by a URI.
remote resource

From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27) | Glossary for this source

Any resource or resource portion that participates in a link by virtue of being addressed with a URI reference is considered a remote resource, even if it is in the same XML document as the link, or even inside the same linking element.
resource

From Web Characterization Terminology & Definitions Sheet (1999-05-24) | Glossary for this source

The URI specification describes a resource as the common term for "...anything that has identity. Familiar examples include an electronic document, an image, a service (e.g., "today's weather report for Los Angeles"), as well as a collection of other resources. Not all resources are network "retrievable"; e.g., human beings, corporations, and bound books in a library can also be considered resources..." (see also the term Web Resource).

resource

From RDF Semantics (2004-02-10) | Glossary for this source

(n.)(as used in RDF)(i) An entity; anything in the universe. (ii) As a class name: the class of everything; the most inclusive category possible.
resource

From Glossary of Terms for Device Independence (2005-01-18) | Glossary for this source

A network data object or service that can be identified by a URI. Resources may be available in multiple representations (e.g. multiple languages, data formats, size, resolutions) or vary in other ways.
This term was taken verbatim from Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1
resource

From The Platform for Privacy Preferences 1.0 (P3P1.0) Specification (2002-04-16) | Glossary for this source

A network data object or service that can be identified by a URI. Resources may be available in multiple representations (e.g. multiple languages, data formats, size, and resolutions) or vary in other ways.
resource

From Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1 (1999-06-15) | Glossary for this source

A network data object or service that can be identified by a URI, as defined in section 3.2. Resources may be available in multiple representations (e.g. multiple languages, data formats, size, and resolutions) or vary in other ways.
resource

From Resource Description Framework (RDF) Model and Syntax Specification (1999-02-22) | Glossary for this source

An abstract object that represents either a physical object such as a person or a book or a conceptual object such as a color or the class of things that have colors. Web pages are usually considered to be physical objects, but the distinction between physical and conceptual or abstract objects is not important to RDF. A resource can also be a component of a larger object; for example, a resource can represent a specific person's left hand or a specific paragraph out of a document. As used in this specification, the term resource refers to the whole of an object if the URI does not contain a fragment (anchor) id or to the specific subunit named by the fragment or anchor id.
resource

From Architecture of the World Wide Web, Volume One (2004-12-15) | Glossary for this source

Anything that might be identified by a URI.
resource

From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27) | Glossary for this source

As discussed in , a resource is any addressable unit of information or service.
resource

From OWL Web Ontology Language Guide (2004-02-10) | Glossary for this source

an element of the RDF domain of discourse
resource Manifestation

From Web Characterization Terminology & Definitions Sheet (1999-05-24) | Glossary for this source

A resource manifestation is a rendition of a resource at a specific point in time and space. A conceptual mapping exists between a resource and a resource manifestation (or set of manifestations), in the sense that the resource has certain properties - e.g., its URI, its intended purpose, etc. - which are inherited by each manifestation, although the specific structure, form, and content of the manifestation may vary according to factors such as the environment in which it is displayed, the time it is accessed, etc. Regardless of the form the manifestation's rendering ultimately takes, the conceptual mapping to the resource is preserved.

Note: For historical reasons, HTTP/1.x calls a manifestation for an "entity".

resource error

From XML Inclusions (XInclude) (2004-12-20) | Glossary for this source

The term resource error refers to a failure of an attempt to fetch a resource from a URL.
