Agent Asset

  • Version 3
  • Published
  • Updated

An asset is attributed to an agent to express the agent's responsibility for that asset, possibly along with other agents. This description can be understood as shorthand for saying that the agent was responsible for the activity which used the asset.
For many purposes, a key consideration for deciding whether something is reliable and/or trustworthy is knowing who or what was responsible for its production.
