Element
Summary
Base domain class from which all other SPDX 3 domain classes derive.
Description
An Element is a representation of a fundamental concept either directly inherent to the Bill of Materials (BOM) domain or indirectly related to the BOM domain and necessary for contextually characterizing BOM concepts and relationships.
Within SPDX 3 structure this is the base class acting as a consistent, unifying, and interoperable foundation for all explicit and inter-relatable content objects.
