Interface IGridResourceCategory

Grid resources are grouped within so called resource categories. This interface is the base of this mechanism. Resource categories are either top level or are children of other categories. Furthermore they may be active in which case they are used to query resources with an information system or they are passive in which case they just serve as container for other categories. Resource categories can be defined with the eu.geclipse.core.gridResourceCategory extension point.
