Why we need SharedResources class while doing localization

I am new to asp.net core localization, and trying to use resource files. There are multiple ways of doing it, so I started with IStringLocalizer and IHtmlLocalizer.

We can specify the type while injecting the Localizer into the view, and most of the tutorial recommend to create an Empty SharedResource class file with root namespace.

I tried to find the reason behind it but didn't find, Could anyone please help me out about the reason of having the empty SharedResource class?

@inject IHtmlLocalizer<SharedResources> Localizer


namespace Root.Namespace
{
    public class SharedResources
    {

    }
}

Also it need for IStringLocalizeFactory 

        services.AddMvc().SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_2)
            .AddDataAnnotationsLocalization(options =>
            {
                options.DataAnnotationLocalizerProvider = (type, factory) =>
                {
                    var assemblyName = new AssemblyName(typeof(SharedResource).GetTypeInfo().Assembly.FullName);
                    return factory.Create("SharedResource", assemblyName.Name);
                };
            });
