**Resource Detectors**: OpenTelemetry can collect resource attributes of the entity that producing telemetry. For example, a process producing telemetry that is running in a container on Kubernetes has a Pod name, it is in a namespace and possibly is part of a Deployment which also has a name. All three of these attributes can be included in the `Resource`.

## Component Ownership

This repository includes various components, each maintained by one or more designated component owners. Unless
necessary to resolve disagreements, [@open-telemetry/javascript-maintainers](https://github.com/orgs/open-telemetry/teams/javascript-maintainers)
take a more passive role when it comes to Maintaining these components.

Component owners have the authority to make decisions on implementation and feature requests, following the best practices
and the [mission, vision and values](https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/main/mission-vision-values.md) of the OpenTelemetry Project. They are also assigned the Triager role to manage issues
related to their components, and are the primary contact for conducting PR reviews for their components.

Component owners are automatically assigned to pull requests as reviewers. The source of truth for component ownership
is [.github/component_owners.yml](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js-contrib/blob/main/.github/component_owners.yml).
