## Tracer Creation

New `Tracer` instances are always created through a `TracerProvider` (see
[API](api.md#obtaining-a-tracer)). The `name` and `version` arguments
supplied to the `TracerProvider` must be used to create a
[`Resource`](../resource/sdk.md) instance which is stored on the created `Tracer`.
[API](api.md#obtaining-a-tracer)). The `name` and `version` arguments
supplied to the `TracerProvider` must be used to create an
[`InstrumentationLibrary`][otep-83] instance which is stored on the created
`Tracer`.

All configuration objects (SDK specific) and extension points (span processors,
propagators) must be provided to the `TracerProvider`. `Tracer` instances must
not duplicate this data (unless for read-only access) to avoid that different
`Tracer` instances of a `TracerProvider` have different versions of these data.

The readable representations of all `Span` instances created by a `Tracer` must
provide a `getLibraryResource` method that returns this `Resource` information
held by the `Tracer`.
provide a `getInstrumentationLibrary` method that returns the
`InstrumentationLibrary` information held by the `Tracer`.
