+|Building Block|Description|
+|--------------|-----------|
+|Input|annotation used in Agents to declare the definition of input parameters, evaluated by Reflection|
+|Make|used in Agents to define structure of input parameters providing uniform access to Group- and Parameter builders|
+|DataProvider|single point of access for all inputs of any Agent - used as single argument for all Agent constructors|
+|ParameterData|accessor to input data formatted according to defined Input Tree of that Agent|
+|Tree|root element of a input parameter specification|
+|Joiner|joins raw input parameters from DataProvider with a input parameter specification Tree and returns ParameterData|
+|TreeElement|one element of an input parameter Tree specification (either a Group or Parameter)|
+|Parameter|a single element of the input parameter Tree with specifications for one input parameter; has no inner elements|
+|Group|an input parameter group that contains inner TreeElements but cannot hold a value on its own|
+|ElementOrBuilder|an abstraction representing either a TreeElement or its associated Builder|
+|ElementBuilder|abstraction to represent builders for Parameters or Groups|
+|GroupBuilder|builds an input parameter group containing inner TreeElements|
+|ParameterBuilder|builds specifications for a single input Parameter|
