Section 73 of 103
72. Schema, Serialization, Package and Library
Stable section ID: S05-CON-015-SECTION-73 · 7 content blocks
A Schema is a controlled definition of the permitted structure, fields, data types, relationships, constraints, and validation rules for a class of information.
Serialization is the encoding of structured information into a transferable or storable format such as JSON, XML, binary data, or an approved future representation.
A Package is a controlled collection of related engineering files or data objects distributed as one identifiable unit. A Package may include a manifest, dependencies, schemas, models, instructions, evidence, signatures, and version metadata.
A Library is a governed collection of reusable engineering definitions, templates, Components, Interfaces, rules, Profiles, or validated assets.
Schemas define structure; serialization defines encoding; Packages organize delivery; Libraries support reuse.
Each shall possess appropriate identity, version, provenance, dependency, compatibility, and lifecycle information.
A structurally valid Package is not necessarily technically correct or approved. Inclusion in a Library shall not independently establish certification unless the Library entry explicitly records the applicable authority and evidence.
