The Resource Dictionary
The resource dictionary is the mechanism by which the resource monitor
identifies itself to EMS. The purpose of the resource dictionary is to give
a preliminary picture of the resource structure on a given system. Its
main function is to indicate to the registrar which resource monitors
should be contacted when information is needed about a certain
resource. The resource dictionary defines resources on the local system.
