public interface Agent
extends OREResource

Interface representing an Agent which can be attached to any ORE resource to represent a person or other entity which has acted upon the resource. Agents can be either blank nodes or bound to a URI, depending on how they are initialised. This class extends OREResource, so inherits all the interface definitions from there also.
