PaaST (1.0) 2017 (†860 p. 14): A DigitalComponent is a digital object that is used in one or more BinaryEncodings to instantiate the IntellectualEntity the encoding represents. A DigitalComponent may be a file in a storage system or a bit stream that is part of a package that contains many other bit streams, or it might be a digital object that is embedded in a larger digital object. What differentiates one DigitalComponent from another is not where it is located or how it is stored, but how it is used to instantiate an IntellectualEntity. (†2450)
PaaST (1.0) 2017 (†860 p. 14): DigitalComponent differs from all other PaaST classes in that instances of the other classes consist only of data about the things they describe. In contrast, DigitalComponents are the primary persistent means of maintaining IntellectualEntities over time and instantiating them when needed. A DigitalComponent should be maintained without change for as long as it is needed to instantiate any IntellectualEntity. (†2451)
