+# Component Types Help
+
+This page provides an overview of the different types of components in the OpenTelemetry ecosystem, including examples and explanations.
+
+## Component Types
+
+### Application Integration
+- **Description**: Components that help integrate OpenTelemetry into existing applications or services.
+- **Example**: Libraries that enable the export of telemetry data in OpenTelemetry formats.
+
+### Core
+- **Description**: Fundamental components that are essential for OpenTelemetry's core functionality.
+- **Example**: Core SDKs and libraries that provide basic tracing and metrics support.
+
+### Exporter
+- **Description**: Components that handle exporting telemetry data to various backends.
+- **Example**: Exporters that send telemetry data to cloud platforms or monitoring services.
+
+### Extension
+- **Description**: Additional features that extend the capabilities of the OpenTelemetry Collector.
+- **Example**: Plugins or modules that add specific functionalities to the Collector.
+
+### Instrumentation
+- **Description**: Libraries for specific programming languages that automatically capture telemetry data from applications.
+- **Example**: Java Util Logging Instrumentation for capturing logs in Java applications.
+
+### Log Bridge
+- **Description**: Bridges between OpenTelemetry and logging systems, allowing logs to be processed with telemetry data.
+- **Example**: Adapters that connect application logs with OpenTelemetry systems.
+
+### Processor
+- **Description**: Components that modify or enrich telemetry data before it's exported.
+- **Example**: Processors that filter or add metadata to spans before exporting.
+
+### Receiver
+- **Description**: Components responsible for receiving telemetry data in various formats.
+- **Example**: Receivers that support multiple telemetry protocols, like OTLP or Jaeger.
+
+### Resource Detector
+- **Description**: Automatically detects resource information, such as cloud environment metadata.
+- **Example**: Components that identify and add resource tags to telemetry data.
+
+### Utilities
+- **Description**: Miscellaneous helper tools and libraries that aid in the management and processing of telemetry data.
+- **Example**: Utility libraries for handling common data transformations or protocol conversions.
