Agenda

1) Please see notes from joint call on the new proposal for improved license list matching markup and maintenance here: http://wiki.spdx.org/view/Technical_Team/Minutes/2016-02-09 we will go over summary of what was discussed and then focus on determining process for going forward.

  • update/review from Kris on state of proposal and look at first pass output and looked at an example in light of meeting minutes from joint call
  • comment that <body> tag doesn't include optional tags such as <title> or <copyright>; but <body> tag also allows to have variations?
    • what about licenses that have different language translations that are considered equivalent? Sam has mapped translations to same identifier (for EUPL, and maybe CC licenses) - will need to discuss how to handle such situations as its own discussion
  • list of equivalent words would still apply, but not illustrated in these files; those would be included in another iteration of the license file that is more computer-friendly. These master files are for denoting things humans are good to identify that computers are not good at identifying
  • standard header uses a tag, which is missing in this pass; might be better to have it there with nothing in tag. header tag should not be included in tag that wraps the entire license
  • use of <body> tag for text of actual license alone is helpful if you want to automate reproducing just the license text
    • also discussed whether we would want to differentiate sub-sections within license text - value here could be in terms of compliance to reference specific sections and allowing traceability where compliance is not 100%, could identify where compliant
  • tagging bullets to illustrate where they can be disregarded; could not mark some numbering if want to have those matching
  • matching guidelines may change from, "you don't have to match bullets" to "you don't have to match on anything in this tag"
  • these XML files are master files from which other iterations (e.g., HTML pages, plain text, etc.) are generated from
  • decision point re: what to call tags and how to nest them and map this to current matching guidelines with beginning of revisions for matching guidelines - starting point
    • better to not map on RDF

2) update on Collab Summit schedule
