pathwayComponent

The set of interactions and/or pathwaySteps in this pathway/network. Each instance of the pathwayStep class defines: 1) a set of interactions that together define a particular step in the pathway, for example a catalysis instance and the conversion that it catalyzes; 2) an order relationship to one or more other pathway steps (via the NEXT-STEP property). Note: This ordering is not necessarily temporal - the order described may simply represent connectivity between adjacent steps. Temporal ordering information should only be inferred from the direction of each interaction.
