A resource is in this compartment if the nominated search parameter (or chain) refers to the compartmentdefinition-encounter resource that defines the compartment.

All resources not explicitly listed above are not defined as part of the compartment because they do not have a relevant element, or an appropriate specified search parameter. Some non-listed resources may still be relevant for certain compartment uses, such as access control - e.g. Binary.
