 # Embedded Resources
 
-Embedded resources function very similarly to [embedded schemas in Ecto](https://hexdocs.pm/ecto/Ecto.Schema.html).
+Embedded resources are stored as maps in attributes of other resources. They are great for storing structured data, and support a whole range of useful features that resources support. For example, you can have calculations, validations, policies and even relationships on embedded resources.Here is an example of a simple embedded resource:
-The primary difference is the same as the primary difference between Ecto schemas and Ash resources: the full lifecycle
-of the resource is managed by its configuration. For example, you can add validations, calculations, and even authorization policies to an embedded resource. Here is an example of a simple embedded resource:
