shared resources
Collectively owned supplies
Shared resources are assets, materials, or facilities used by multiple people or groups rather than belonging to one alone.
The term appears in computing (files accessible across a network), economics (common goods like fisheries or parks), and everyday contexts: The conference room is a shared resource for all departments.
Managing shared resources often involves balancing access against depletion or conflict.
