There are multiple ways to describe the ident of a resource:

Absolute idents:

resourceId: a UUID
Data frame: uses the resourceId value of the data frame
entityId: pointer to the latest version of a resource. Short and long entityIds are accepted'
entityVersionId: pointer to a specific version of a resource. Short and long entityIds are accepted'
path: the full path to a resource, always starting with /.

Relative idents:

All relative idents are path based, they always have to start with ./ or ../'
Relative path without pwd: always starts from the return value of pwd()'
Relative path and pwd as second argument: starts the relative path from the absolute ident that was handed over as second argument. Sometimes still called “from” but will be updated to pwd.
