BUILDING BLOCK - Resource Agent

Description	Abstract Concept A Resource Agent is an entity type which instance belongs to the physical space, and comprises Human Agents, Hardware Systems, Software Systems and Natural Resources. Resource Agent is the supertype of all types of Agents that produce and react to Resource Outcome Events. This includes: 1) Business Agents which represent physical resources that produce and react to Business Outcome Events of the enterprise. 2) Technology Systems which represents enabling systems that produce and react to Technology Outcome Events. Resource Agent Nature of Resource Agent: a Resource Agent is either a Natural Resource, a Human Agent, an Artifact or a Resource Agent Configuration Operational Role of Resource Agent: a Resource Agent is either a Technology System or a Business Agent Tangible-Intangible Partition of Resource Agent: a Resource Agent is either an Intangible Resource Agent or a Physical Resource Agent
Super Types	Agent (from partition: Conceptualization Levels of Agent) Resource Operating Asset (from partition: Structural Partition of Resource Operating Asset)
Functional Domain	Resource System Operating Framework (R-SOF) The Resource System Operating Framework (R-SOF) domain is a conceptualization level that comprises abstract entities that belong to the physical space and comprise Human resources, Software resources, Hardware resources and natural resources.
