what does .resources correspond to in a gatling recording?

I have reorded a script with the gatling recorder and I observe the “.resource” in my exec

`

.exec(http("chooseStore")
 .get("/StoreService/SelectStore?StoreId=2541&_=1423744774367")
 .headers(headers_9)
 .resources(http("shop1")
 .get("/shop1/")
 .headers(headers_0),
          http("cartsum")
 .get("/Carts/Summary")
 .headers(headers_1)))

`

Is this a call .resources(http(“shop1”)

        .get("/shop1/") 

a call made to a separate module on the page or is it just an adding to the url /StoreService/SelectStore?StoreId=2541&_=1423744774367

?
