public interface ILocatableResource<T>

A locatable resource. Resources have a unique namespace and can be resolved and a view materialized using an IResourceLocator. There is a timestamp associated with the resource - the timestamp is used to request IIndex views for the resource. There is a presumption that resources are essentially logical "index containers".
