Access methods are used to access the content of artifacts described by a component version. Every access method has an access method type. All access method types are used for resource as well as source elements.
The type of the access methods defines the access procedure and the access specification format used to provide the appropriate attributes required to identify the blob and its location.
The following access method types are centrally defined:
| TYPE NAME | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
localBlob |
