  The first CLAS12 experiments will provide high-precision data on inclusive
electron scattering observables at a photon virtuality $Q^2$ ranging from 0.05
GeV$^2$ to 12 GeV$^2$ and center-of-mass energies $W$ up to 4 GeV. In view of
this endeavour, we present the modeling of the resonant contributions to the
inclusive electron scattering observables. As input, we use the existing CLAS
electrocoupling results obtained from exclusive meson electroproduction data
off protons, and evaluate for the first time the resonant contributions based
on the experimental results on the nucleon resonance electroexcitation. The
uncertainties are given by the data and duly propagated through a Monte Carlo
approach. In this way, we obtain estimates for the resonant contributions,
important for insight into the nucleon parton distributions in the resonance
region and for the studies of quark-hadron duality.
