useful information. While an online resource is typically
data and educational in nature, any support software
available online can also be considered a resource.

addressable documents or files, to a more generic and
abstract definition, now encompassing every 'thing'
or entity that can be identified, named, addressed or
handled, in any way whatsoever, in the web at large, or in
any networked information system. The declarative
aspects of a resource (identification and naming) and its
functional aspects (addressing and technical handling)
were not clearly distinct in the early specifications of the
web, and the very definition of the concept has been the
subject of long and still open debate involving difficult,
and often arcane, technical, social, linguistic and
philosophical issues.
