## Overview
2121

22-
This specification defines how to create an OCI Image, which will generally be done by a build system, and output an [image manifest](manifest.md), a set of [filesystem layers](layer.md), and an [image configuration](config.md).
22+
This specification defines an OCI Image, consisting of a [manifest](manifest.md), a set of [filesystem layers](layer.md), and a [configuration](config.md).
2323
At a high level the image manifest contains metadata about the contents and dependencies of the image including the content-addressable identity of one or more [filesystem layer changeset](layer.md) archives that will be unpacked to make up the final runnable filesystem.
2424
The image configuration includes information such as application arguments, environments, etc.
25-
The combination of the image manifest, image configuration, and one or more filesystem layers is called the "OCI Image".
