3.2 Target
Target is a mandatory field in Command message, and it is possible to define new Targets that are not present in the specifications. Only one Target is allowed in a Command, and that’s why the cardinality of each one equals to 1.

It describes the service environment, its connections and security capabilities in a BOM standard compliant format. |
A new target, called “xbom”, is introduced because the Target “features” refers only to the Actuator capabilities and not to the characteristics of the execution environment.
The “xbom” Target returns the service environment in a Bill of Materials standard compliant format, such as CycloneDX.
Note
The previous target name “context” (class Context) has been deprecated.
Use the “xbom” target (class XbomCtx) instead.
The Context class is kept as an alias for backward compatibility.
