- ### Items

  - #### resourceRef

    Flags: RAM

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Reference to a resource that is the target of reference. It may be implicit in some cases.

  - #### kind

    Flags: RAM,runtime,AVals:5

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

  - #### intent

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Type of projection that is the target of reference. E.g "default", "admin", "testing"

  - #### tag

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Tag tha distinguished shadows that have the same combination of resource+kind+intent.

  - #### objectClassName

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    TODO exact meaning

  - #### tombstone

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Whether the projection is a remnant of a deleted/dead resource object. TODO should be named differently, as "tombstone" is a very specific lifecycle state of a shadow. In live object (ResourceShadowDiscriminator) it is called "gone".

  - #### discriminatorOrder

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    TODO resolve conflict with ResourceObjectTypeDependencyType
