User:Dzonatas Sol/AWG Asset/Description

• An entity which can be transferred from agent to agent or from agent to region or from region to agent. It can be something like an object, texture, sound, link, landmark, and so forth.

Architecturally, an asset consists of asset properties and asset data (also called meta data).

• (temp note): We need some clarity here, and elsewhere in the glossary between a Web Services description of resources such as an asset, and an in use description. If we view all assets as having URLs and a singular place in an asset server where the definitive copy of the asset exists, then we need to separate that from the potentially many places where copies of that set of information may be cached and used. -- Zha

• Ah.. Actually, if we wish to make a distinction between the asset's data, and its meta-data, then, we have the asset, which would be what we "get" from the URL, and the meta-data, which we seperate from the core item, in one of several ways.

• Assets exist in the Agent Stores of the Agent Domain or in the Region Stores of the Region Domain.
