This section first details how reference sets themselves are described in a machine readable form, using a set of | Reference set descriptor| member records (called a Descriptor, for short). It then describes a number of standard reference set patterns. Each of these patterns is also described standardtypes. Each reference set type follows a pattern and that pattern is also represented in a machine readable form using a set of | Reference set descriptor| member records (called Reference Set Descriptor members (known as a Descriptor Template, for short). Each In most case, the same pattern may be used to define a number of reference sets. At the end of the section, a number of individual reference sets are described that do not conform to a particular patternof differentto serve a variety of purposes. However, there are also some highly specifictypes that exist for a single specified purpose. These are the Reference Set Descriptor Reference Set, Module Dependency Reference Set and Description Format Reference Set.
