Descriptors are the key concept for realizing the separation of &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot; href=&quot;./../../../base_concepts/guidances/termdefinitions/process,_yQ5m2NnmEdmO6L4XMImrsA.html&quot; guid=&quot;_yQ5m2NnmEdmO6L4XMImrsA&quot;&gt;process&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;from Method Content. A descriptor can be characterized as a reference
object for one particular content element. In addition, a descriptor&amp;nbsp;has its own relationships and properties whose
purpose is to modify the semantics of the content element it refers to.</mainDescription>
