# Course resources (ERD)

The UCDM includes a number of entities to represent Course resources. These entities are typically administrative in nature and designed to enable high-level aggregation and institution-wide reporting of learning outcomes, activities, and other data.

## Entities <a href="#courseresources-erd-entities" id="courseresources-erd-entities"></a>

The Course resource entities in the Unizin Common Data Model are as follows:

<table data-full-width="true"><thead><tr><th width="149.33333333333337">Entity</th><th>Definition</th><th>Data dictionary documentation</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>File</td><td>An object that contains information in a self-contained manner. Files may be documents, images, recordings, and so on.</td><td><a href="https://docs.udp.unizin.org/ucdm/data-dictionary-2.0.html#file">https://docs.udp.unizin.org/ucdm/data-dictionary-2.0.html#file</a></td></tr><tr><td>Wiki</td><td>A site that allows collaborative editing of its content and structure by its users.</td><td><a href="https://docs.udp.unizin.org/ucdm/data-dictionary-2.0.html#wiki">https://docs.udp.unizin.org/ucdm/data-dictionary-2.0.html#wiki</a></td></tr><tr><td>Wiki page</td><td>A particular page in a Wiki.</td><td><a href="https://docs.udp.unizin.org/ucdm/data-dictionary-2.0.html#wiki_page">https://docs.udp.unizin.org/ucdm/data-dictionary-2.0.html#wiki_page</a></td></tr></tbody></table>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://resources.unizin.org/products/data-and-analytics/unizin-data-platform/unizin-common-data-model/course-resources-erd.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
