The NSRL is made up of three major elements:<ref name="mead" />

# A large physical collection of commercial software packages (e.g., [[operating systems]], off-the-shelf application software);

# A database containing detailed information, or [[metadata]], about each file that makes up each of those software packages;

# A smaller public dataset containing the most widely-used metadata for each file in the collection that is published and updated quarterly. This is called the ''Reference Data Set''.
