Resource
type: Class
subclass of: BFO_0000002
comment: 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.
definition: 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.
example: a group of interns
example: a knowledge base
example: a plot of land
example: a software program
example: a sum of money
example: a vehicle
scope note: 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.
