Agenda

• Review Collab Summit Results

Review Collab Summit Results

• Need to add a link to Jack's instance diagrams presented at Collab Summit. Will put in the Use Case wiki page for the use cases it uses.
• Need to capture the Wind River file relationships in the minutes

External SPDX element reference

• Bill reviewed a writeup on the proposal (posted at XXX)
  • Decided that the uniqueness of the SPDX document name is required, but the exact format is not specified (e.g. they do not have to use the GUID).
  • Suggest best practice for using GUID's as a way of guarenteeing uniqueness
  • Suggest all docs end with .spdx (but not required)

Relationships and Usage

• Are the current list of relationships and usage defined? - Not yet
• Would like to make the relationships symmetric
  • Modifies and MofiedBy
• Discussion of generatedFrom - is it the same as DerivedFrom? - not really, generatedFrom is more of a compiler use case. Could we use builtFrom? Decided to stay away from the term derived.
• Reviewed Bill's instance diagram:
  • builtFrom
  • artifactOf
  • patchOf
  • upstreamBinary
  • exploded - don't like the term in general, consider "burst"
  • expanded
• Debian has a policy manual that describes relationships
  • Suggestion to use the Debian term if it works
• We should allow for user defined relationships
• Sameer, Gary and BIll will write up one line descriptions for current relationship and usage proposals
