(almost) anything is a resource
Vazaar should be able to handle as many resources as user can imagine. But what is a resource? Summing up, a resource is anything you can reference with a URI. Check RFC 3986 (URI Generic Syntax):
"""
This specification does not limit the scope of what might be a resource; rather, the term 'resource' is used in a general sense for whatever might be identified by a URI. Familiar examples include an electronic document, an image, a source of information with a consistent purpose (e.g., "today's weather report for Los Angeles"), a service (e.g., an HTTP-to-SMS gateway), and a collection of other resources. A resource is not necessarily accessible via the Internet; e.g., human beings, corporations, and bound books in a library can also be resources. Likewise, abstract concepts can be resources, such as the operators and operands of a mathematical equation, the types of a relationship (e.g., "parent" or "employee"), or numeric values (e.g., zero, one, and infinity).

Whiteboard
Until now, Vazaar can handle these resources:
- files and directories in a local file system (images, sound, video)
- any text-based content from clipboard
- collections
- remote resources (webpages, ftp sites)
- notes: simple text-based notes
- projects,
- organizations,
- contacts,
- tasks
Common metadata for all resources:
- RDF.type: a specific nepomuk resource class
- NAO['created']: resource created date in Vazaar
- NIE['title']: resource title
- NIE['mimeType']: resource mimetype
- NFO['fileUrl']: URL of the file. It points at the location of the file. In cases where creating a simple file:// or http:// URL for a file is difficult (e.g. for files inside compressed archives) the applications are encouraged to use conventions defined by Apache Commons VFS Project at http://
Optional:
- NAO['lastModifi
Relations:
- NAO['hasTag']
