/**
 * An object that represent a resource in a network.
 * A Resource can represents path-like hierarchical structure with its ID. An ID of resource is
 * composed of a sequence of elementary resources that are not globally identifiable. A Resource
 * can be globally identifiable by its ID.
 *
 * Two types of resource are considered. One is discrete type and the other is continuous type.
 * Discrete type resource is a resource whose amount is measured as a discrete unit. VLAN ID and
 * MPLS label are examples of discrete type resource. Continuous type resource is a resource whose
 * amount is measured as a continuous value. Bandwidth is an example of continuous type resource.
 * A double value is associated with a continuous type value.
 *
 * Users of this class must keep the semantics of resources regarding the hierarchical structure.
 * For example, resource, Device:1/Port:1/VLAN ID:100, is valid, but resource,
 * VLAN ID:100/Device:1/Port:1 is not valid because a link is not a sub-component of a VLAN ID.
