  - `resourceType` 'View' | 'Asset' | 'Community' | 'Domain' | 'AssetType' | 'DomainType' | 'Status' | 'User' | 'ClassificationMatch' | 'UserGroup' | 'Attribute' | 'StringAttribute' | 'ScriptAttribute' | 'BooleanAttribute' | 'DateAttribute' | 'NumericAttribute' | 'SingleValueListAttribute' | 'MultiValueListAttribute' | 'Comment' | 'Attachment' | 'Responsibility' | 'Workflow' | 'Job' | 'Relation' | 'RelationType' | 'ComplexRelation' | 'ComplexRelationType' | 'ArticulationRule' | 'Assignment' | 'Scope' | 'RelationTrace' | 'ValidationRule' | 'DataQualityRule' | 'DataQualityMetric' | 'Address' | 'InstantMessagingAccount' | 'Email' | 'PhoneNumber' | 'Website' | 'Activity' | 'FormProperty' | 'WorkflowTask' | 'ActivityChange' | 'WorkflowInstance' | 'Role' | 'AttributeType' | 'BooleanAttributeType' | 'DateAttributeType' | 'DateTimeAttributeType' | 'MultiValueListAttributeType' | 'NumericAttributeType' | 'ScriptAttributeType' | 'SingleValueListAttributeType' | 'StringAttributeType' | 'ViewSharingRule' | 'ViewAssignmentRule' | 'JdbcDriverFile' | 'JdbcDriver' | 'JdbcIngestionProperties' | 'CsvIngestionProperties' | 'ExcelIngestionProperties' | 'ConnectionStringParameter' | 'AssignedCharacteristicType' | 'Notification' | 'Tag' | 'ComplexRelationLegType' | 'ComplexRelationAttributeType' | 'ComplexRelationLeg' | 'BaseDataType' | 'AdvancedDataType' | 'DiagramPicture' | 'DiagramPictureSharingRule' | 'DiagramPictureAssignmentRule' | 'Rating' | 'Classification' | 'PhysicalDataConnector' | 'Context', required — The type of the resource, e.g. [Community, Asset, Domain, Attribute, Relation, WorkflowInstance, ...]. This property is deprecated and will be removed in the future. In order to stay backwards compatible and to enable introduction of new types of resources, where necessary, a resource discriminator property (of type String) has been added to specific subtypes of Resource, e.g. assignedResourceDiscriminator on AssignedResource, or attributeDiscriminator on Attribute. For new types of resource that didn't exist before this change, the resourceType will be BaseDataType.
  - `name` string — The name of the resource.
  - `description` string — The description of the resource.
  - `publicId` string — The public id of the trait.
  - `symbolData` SymbolDataImpl — The symbol data of the trait.
