Following an EAD description, collections consist of one or more "components". Components act much like files and folders - a component may contain others (folder) or it may be a leaf node (file) - EAD is vague enough not to make this distinction, but provides a "level" attribute instead. This property is used by a component to show that if is a "componentOf" either another component or a collection or both.
