continuant continuant Resource https://www.commoncoreontologies.org/ArtifactOntology A Continuant that is owned by, in the possession of, or is otherwise controlled by an Agent such that it could be used by that Agent. Resources are Resources for some Agent. If no instance of Agent existed, no instance of Resource would exist either. It is not a requirement that something be valuable in order for it to be a Resource. Thus the value of something can drastically change without altering whether that thing is a Resource. This class is designed to group continuants according to a very broad criterion and is not intended to be used as a parent class for entities that can be more specifically represented under another class. Hence, Natural Resource may be an appropriate subtype but Money, Oil, and Gold Mine are not. a sum of money a plot of land a software program a vehicle a group of interns a knowledge base
