==Introduction==
 +
 +
This specification describes the SPDX® language, defined as a dictionary of named properties and classes using W3C's RDF Technology.
 +
 +
SPDX® is a designed to allow the exchange of data about software packages. This information includes general information about the package, licensing information about the package as a whole, a manifest of files contained in the package and licensing information related to the contained files.
 +
 +
===About this document===
 +
 +
This is an RDFa annotated HTML document that defines the SPDX® RDF vocabulary using the Web Ontology Language. It is RDFa 1.0 compatible and may be consumed by any RDFa 1.0 compatible parser. The same information is available in [http://spdx.org/rdf/terms.rdf RDF/XML] and [http://spdx.org/rdf/terms.ttl Turtle] formats if those are more convenient.
 +
 +
RDF it is a widely used data interchange technology which allows heterogeneous systems communicate even when their internal models/implementations are incompatible. For more details on RDF, this [http://notabug.com/2002/rdfprimer/ RDF primer] helpful for gaining a basic understanding.
 +
 +
===Prefixes used in this document===
 +
 +
The <code>spdx</code> prefix used in this document expands to <code>http://spdx.org/rdf/terms#</code>. Any terms in this document without an explicit prefix may be assumed to be in the <code>spdx</code> namespace.
 +
 +
====Other vocabularies used by this one====
 +
 +
In addition to the <code>spdx</code> prefix the following prefixes are also used. Each of these reference another vocabulary imported and used by the SPDX vocabulary.

===Class: <code>SpdxDocument</code>===
 +
 +
An <code>SpdxDocument</code> is a summary of the contents, provenance, ownership and licensing analysis of a specific software package. This is, effectively, the top level of SPDX information.

===Property: <code>algorithm</code>===

 +
Identifies the algorithm used to produce the subject <code>Checksum</code>.

 +
Currently, [http://www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/fip180-1.htm SHA-1] is the only supported algorithm. It is anticipated that other algorithms will be supported at a later time.

 +
The licensing under which the <code>creator</code> of this SPDX document allows related data to be reproduced.
 +
 +
The only valid value for this property is <code>http://spdx.org/licenses/CC0-1.0</code>. This is to alleviate any concern that content (the data) in an SPDX file is subject to any form of intellectual property right that could restrict the re-use of the information or the creation of another SPDX file for the same project(s). This approach avoids intellectual property and related restrictions over the SPDX file, however individuals can still contract one to one to restrict release of specific collections of SPDX files (which map to software bill of materials) and the identification of the supplier of SPDX files.

SPDX® Vocabulary Specification

Introduction

This specification describes the SPDX® language, defined as a dictionary of named properties and classes using W3C's RDF Technology.

SPDX® is a designed to allow the exchange of data about software packages. This information includes general information about the package, licensing information about the package as a whole, a manifest of files contained in the package and licensing information related to the contained files.

About this document

This is an RDFa annotated HTML document that defines the SPDX® RDF vocabulary using the Web Ontology Language. It is RDFa 1.0 compatible and may be consumed by any RDFa 1.0 compatible parser. The same information is available in RDF/XML and Turtle formats if those are more convenient.

RDF it is a widely used data interchange technology which allows heterogeneous systems communicate even when their internal models/implementations are incompatible. For more details on RDF, this RDF primer helpful for gaining a basic understanding.

Prefixes used in this document

The spdx prefix used in this document expands to http://spdx.org/rdf/terms#. Any terms in this document without an explicit prefix may be assumed to be in the spdx namespace.

Other vocabularies used by this one

In addition to the spdx prefix the following prefixes are also used. Each of these reference another vocabulary imported and used by the SPDX vocabulary.

Class: License

A License represents a copyright license. The SPDX license list website is annotated with these properties (using RDFa) to allow license data published there to be easily processed.

The license list is populated in accordance with the License List fields guidelines. These guidelines are not normative and may change over time. SPDX tooling should not rely on values in the license list conforming to the current guidelines.

A manifest based verification code (the algorithm is defined in section 4.7 of the full specification) of the package.

Tools must preserve doap:hompage and doap:name properties and the URI (if one is known) of doap:Project resources that are values of this property. All other properties of doap:Projects are not directly supported by SPDX and may be dropped when translating to or from some SPDX formats.

Property: dataLicense

The licensing under which the creator of this SPDX document allows related data to be reproduced.

This is to alleviate any concern that content (the data) in an SPDX file is subject to any form of intellectual property right that could restrict the re-use of the information or the creation of another SPDX file for the same project(s). This approach avoids intellectual property and related restrictions over the SPDX file, however individuals can still contract one to one to restrict release of specific collections of SPDX files (which map to software bill of materials) and the identification of the supplier of SPDX files.

Property: packageVerificationCode

A manifest based authentication code for the package. This allows consumers of this data to determine if a package they have in hand is identical to the package from which the data was produced. This algorithm works even if the SPDX document is included in the package. This algorithm is described in detail in the SPDX specification.

The package verification code algorithm is defined in section 4.7 of the full specification.

Property: packageVerificationCodeExcludedFile

A file that was excluded when calculating the package verification code. This is usually a file containing SPDX data regarding the package. If a package contains more than one SPDX file all SPDX files must be excluded from the package verification code. If this is not done it would be impossible to correctly calculate the verification codes in both files.

Agent and Tool Identifiers

Fields that identify entities that have acted in relation to the SPDX file are single line of text which name the agent or tool and, optionally, provide contact information. For example, "Person: Jane Doe (jane.doe@example.com)", "Organization: ExampleCodeInspect (contact@example.com)" and "Tool: LicenseFind - 1.0". The exact syntax of agent and tool identifications is described below in ABNF. 

   agent = person / organization tool = "Tool: " name 0*1( " " DASH " " version) person =
