An asset is typically a resource or item of value that can be utilized in some capacity. In the context of platforms like Mulesoft's Anypoint Exchange, assets include resources like templates, examples, and connectors because they provide distinct, usable content. An 'Exchange' itself, however, is a platform or repository where these assets are hosted and shared. Therefore, 'Exchange' is not considered an asset; it is the place where assets are stored and accessed.
