Concept

Resource is an instance that has a type. The type of the resource specifies a set of properites (which themselves have types).

Type information in Composer is used to validate the structure of Resource instances and for serialization.

Resources are used in Composer to represent Assets, Participants, Transactions and other domain classes that can be serialized for long-term persistent storage.
