Components are the data entities defined in a map that can be referenced by NCL. Every component has some data type associated with it. Data types give components their properties, but the types themselves are not referenced by NCL. A component’s type can be a user defined type, which is defined by a type assignment within the source, or it could be a primitive ASN.1 type. Even where a component’s type is a user defined one, by going to that type assignment (and possibly repeating this process), the type assignment specifies a primitive ASN.1 type. This primitive type is referred to as the base type for the component.
