     *
     * \brief Resource is the central object type in Nepomuk. It represents a piece of
     * information of any kind.
     *
     * Resources are identified by their unique URI (which
     * correlates directly with the URI in the local NEPOMUK RDF storage.
     *
     * Resource objects with the same URI share their data.
     *
     * All methods in Resource are thread-safe.
     *
     * See \ref hacking for details on how to use Resource.
     *
     * \see ResourceManager
     *
     * \section nepomuk_resource_file_uris Special case: file URLs
     *
     * \p file:/ URLs are handled as a special case in Nepomuk. Starting with KDE 4.4
     * they are no longer used to identify the Nepomuk resource but only stored as
     * nie:url property. All resources have \p nepomuk:/res/<UUID> URIs. The Resource
     * constructors handle this automatically. Thus, one can still use file URLs to
     * construct the objects. But be aware of the following example:
     *
     * \code
     * KUrl fileUrl("file:///home/foobar/example.txt");
     * Nepomuk::Resource fileRes(fileUrl);
     * QUrl fileResUri = fileRes.resourceUri();
     * \endcode
     *
     * Here \p fileUrl and \p fileResUri are NOT equal. The latter is the resource URI
     * of the form \p nepomuk:/res/<UUID>.
     *

         * The following cases are handled:
         * \li A local file path is converted to a local file URL
         * \li A URI which already exist in Nepomuk results in loading of that particular resource.
         * \li A string which already exists as the nao:identifier of a resource results in loading
         * of that particular resource.
         * \li Any other string is used as nao:identifier for a new resource. This resource can
         * later be loaded again by using the same identifier with this constructor.
         *
         * \param type The URI identifying the type of the resource. If it is empty
         *             Resource falls back to http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema\#Resource or

         *             store.
         *
         * Example:
         *
         * The best way to understand the path or identifier system is through tags.
         * There are two ways to create a resource that represents an existing tag. The first is the
         * low level one: use the unique URI of the tag with the Resource(QUrl,QUrl) constructor.
         * The second one is to use this constructor with the name of the tag as its identifier:
         *
         * \code
         * Resource myTag( "Nepomuk" );
         * \endcode
         *
         * This will result in Resource loading the tag with nao:identifier "Nepomuk".
