I suggest that you change "resource" to "resource or artifact".  So, the
re-wording is:

2.1.3.1 The SDD specification must define information sufficient to
enable performance of lifecycle operations by provisioning application
or installation programs using standard resource or artifact interfaces,
without  requiring additional resource- or artifact- specific code or
knowledge.
