Modeling

• Gary will update the model based on last week’s discussion and post a new graphic and the input data for the model
• Bill to send out Snippets modeling discussion out to the group for a broader discussion
• Annotation Discussion
  • Annotations in Ed’s proposal are used for properties (both standard and additional properties) and for a “changelog”
  • Merged model is using it more as a changelog
  • Should the Annotations be tied to the relationship?
  • It could also be tied to the SPDXDocument or the SPDX Element
  • Are comments sufficient?
    • Annotations are more machine readable
  • Proposal to handle changelogs with comments in the Relationship object
  • Proposal to handle changelogs with Reviewer comments
  • Agreed to move the discussion from Annotations concept in general to more specific use cases
  • One use case that needs exploring is the “changlogs” for new versions of SPDX documents
  • Tabling annotations and keeping SPDX elements alive
  • Should we have the SPDX relationship at the SPDX Doc level, SPDX Element level, or both?
  • Agree to remove annotation from the model for now
  • Agree to add a SPDX Doc to SPDX doc relationship
  • ArtifactOf – need to discuss how this relates to the relationship (follow-up discussion)
  • Add comment to relationship objects
