public interface IExtendedResource
extends IResource

A resource that can hold unknown properties and content. If a setter is not found for a property when reading a resource, it is added as an extended property. These extended properties are preserved when writing the resource back out, for instance on a PUT request. In OSLC, clients MUST preserve unknown content when performing updates of resources.
