- "description": "Specifies the type of component. For software components, classify as application if no more specific appropriate classification is available or cannot be determined for the component. Types include:\n\n* __application__ = A software application. Refer to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_software) for information about applications.\n* __framework__ = A software framework. Refer to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_framework](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_framework) for information on how frameworks vary slightly from libraries.\n* __library__ = A software library. Refer to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_(computing)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_(computing))\n for information about libraries. All third-party and open source reusable components will likely be a library. If the library also has key features of a framework, then it should be classified as a framework. If not, or is unknown, then specifying library is RECOMMENDED.\n* __container__ = A packaging and/or runtime format, not specific to any particular technology, which isolates software inside the container from software outside of a container through virtualization technology. Refer to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS-level_virtualization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS-level_virtualization)\n* __platform__ = A runtime environment which interprets or executes software. This may include runtimes such as those that execute bytecode or low-code/no-code application platforms.\n* __operating-system__ = A software operating system without regard to deployment model (i.e. installed on physical hardware, virtual machine, image, etc) Refer to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system)\n* __device__ = A hardware device such as a processor, or chip-set. A hardware device containing firmware SHOULD include a component for the physical hardware itself, and another component of type 'firmware' or 'operating-system' (whichever is relevant), describing information about the software running on the device.\n* __device-driver__ = A special type of software that operates or controls a particular type of device. Refer to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_driver](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_driver)\n* __firmware__ = A special type of software that provides low-level control over a devices hardware. Refer to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmware](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmware)\n* __file__ = A computer file. Refer to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_file](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_file) for information about files.\n* __machine-learning-model__ = A model based on training data that can make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed to do so.\n* __data__ = A collection of discrete values that convey information.",
