In abstract terms, data associated with a component type that declares
* what component requires to work
* what component offers other components
* the environment in which component executes (though strictly speaking
this is not needed).
In physical terms it means declaring the components that the component
depends upon or exports and also declaring its lifecycle style and possibly
other container specific things.

He assumes that the all components are indirectly referencing other
components, it just happens that the components are directly mapped into
local namespace unless otherwise indicated.
