In the CORE framework, the functional elements that comprise an AI system: models, adapters, guardrails, databases, APIs, connectors, human review steps, and other nodes through which data flows. Each component has properties relevant to governance: its provider or origin, the operations it performs, the resources it accesses, and how it transforms the data flowing through it. A list of components is the minimum information needed for an AIBOM.
