Agenda

• Definitions doc – review Kirsten’s emails on consistent terminology
• Resolve differences in spec and html – review email thread on consistency
• Discuss proposals on verification code algorithms – review email thread from Marshal

Review of the terms “Unknown”, “Undetermined”, and “None”:

Discussion of Undetermined/NotSpecified/NotAnalyzed terminology proposal. Outcome: recommendations made to revise proposal to reflect 4 use cases where license/copyright/url cannot be specified:

• 1) analyzed and data is insufficient to draw a conclusion
• 2) analyzed, and conclusion is Not Licensed
• 3) analyzed, and no data found
• 4) not analyzed
• Revised proposal sent out to list on 04/19
• Add “NONE” category for concluded license
• Change “NOTSPECIFIED” to “NONESEEN”

Discussion of cases where no info is available need to be captured affirmatively in RDF license valuesor whether empty value is sufficient

• Conclusion: should be affirmative; provide values that specifically address this use case

Discussion of how best to handle special terms: as literals/constants or try to "shoe horn" into license registry

• Noted that these terms can be applied to copyright and URL data, not just license data
• Proposal: use URI that points to definition page on spdx.org but NOT license page
• All will require special case treatment

Review differences between pdf doc and html rdf spec:

• For licenses, change the application to match rdf html spec on the “NONE” (etc.) being spdx/rdf/terms URI’s. Peter to update vocabulary with new terms.
• Spdx:License class – ok as is for beta; revisit after beta
• CreatorInfo cardinality – go with the pdf cardinality for now and revisit after Beta start
• Cardinality of licenseInfoFromFile is 1 .. n
• Cardinality licenseConcluded, … cardinality 1 – if multiple licenses, represented as a conjunctive or disjunctive set
• Cardinality of licenseInfoInFile is 1..n (semantics similar licenseInfoFromFiles)
• Describe which properties of DOAP are used in both the pdf and html (name and homepage)
• Agreed to change licenseID → licenseId in pdf, html, and app
