 An OpenAPI Description (OAD) formally describes the surface of an API and its semantics. It is composed of an [entry document](#openapi-description-structure) and any/all of its referenced documents. An OAD uses and conforms to the OpenAPI Specification, and MUST contain at least one [paths](#paths-object) field, [components](#oas-components) field, or [webhooks](#oas-webhooks) field.

 ### OpenAPI Description Structure
 
-An OpenAPI Description (OAD) MAY be structured as a single JSON or YAML document or composed from elements distributed across multiple documents at the discretion of the author. In the latter case, [Reference Object](#reference-object), [Path Item Object](#path-item-object) and [Schema Object](#schema-object) `$ref` keywords, as well as the [Link Object](#link-object) `operationRef` keyword, are used.

 JSON or YAML objects within an OAD are interpreted as specific Objects (such as [Operation Objects](#operation-object), [Response Objects](#response-object), [Reference Objects](#reference-object), etc.) based on their context. Depending on how references are arranged, a given JSON or YAML object can be interpreted in multiple different contexts:
 
-* The root object of the entry document is interpreted as an OpenAPI Object
+* As the root object of the [entry document](#openapi-description-structure), which is always interpreted as an OpenAPI Object
 * As the Object type implied by its parent Object within the OpenAPI Description
 * As a reference target, with the Object type matching the reference source's context
