moodulilist

Moodulilist is a term used in Estonian software and educational contexts to denote a registry or catalog of modular components. It describes what modules exist in a system and how they relate to one another, including metadata that supports discovery, installation, configuration, and maintenance. The concept is common in software frameworks, content management systems, and learning platforms built from interchangeable modules or plugins.

A moodulilist typically contains multiple entries, each representing a module. Common fields include an identifier, name, version, description, dependencies, compatibility information (such as required platform or other modules), license, author or vendor, and a source or repository link. Some implementations also track status (stable, beta, deprecated), release notes, and configuration options. The list can be stored in plain text formats such as JSON, YAML, or XML.

Purpose and usage: The moodulilist enables programmatic module discovery and dependency resolution, facilitating automated installation, updates, rollbacks, and integrity checks. It helps enforce compatibility and reproducibility across environments and supports secure supply chains by associating provenance and licensing with each module. In practice, it is used by plugin systems, package managers, and module registries across software, hardware, and educational domains.

Typical representations: moodulilist.json or moodulilist.yaml contain an array of module entries and may be consumed by an installer or loader at runtime. An example entry would specify an id, version, and dependencies, e.g., a module with id core, version 1.2.3, dependencies none. The exact schema varies by project, but the underlying goal remains to formalize the modular composition of a system.
