An Asset is an abstract data structure with elements for the data of interest (core asset-data), its properties, and its meta data. Each Asset may have core asset-data that may or may not have intellectual property value. Assets exist in the Agent Stores of the Agent Domain or in the Region Stores of the Region Domain, and the Asset may move between those stores. The actual data of an Asset may be cached, copied, or modified if its properties allow. The meta data provides a mechanism to access the rest of the data.
