In order to avoid the shortcoming of faceted classification scheme for being not flexible enough, in this paper, an integrated method which combining the advantages of faceted classification scheme and key value pair method is proposed to represent the logical model of software component. The faceted classification scheme provides a set of summarized optional information for software component to choose. And the key value pair method uses key and value to express the information contained in software component. The information contained in a software component can be divided into four basic facets, namely, the application field, expression method, using environment, development process. And they describe the basic information, using information, and storage information of a software component. The component management protocol based on URL is defined to represent software component, which can be used for storing, transmitting, and analyzing of software component inside of system.
