Minutes

Reviewed Proposed Merged model.

  • Current model: http://wiki.spdx.org/index.php/File:Model-4-16-2013.png
  • Decision to merge Document and Element.
  • Decision to consider Document, Package, File, Snippet as sub classes of Elements.
  • Snippets: byte ranges as sub class of Element. Multiple elements, overlap range.
    • Not required, but permit and support, as sub case of elements.
    • File is 0..#(EOF byte).
    • snippet is only valid if it has a relationship to a file. "is part of".

SPDX Element

  • relationship: see Relationship Enumeration (w/Verification code of other element)
  • usage : see Element Usage Enumeration
  • license: see Licence classe
  • verification code
  • comment (by creator) 0:1
  • annotation (by reviewer) 0:* - text, property of reviewer
  • sub classes:
    • Document:
    • Package:
    • File:
    • Snippet:

Reviewer

  • property of a Document.
  • comments are reflected as annotation

Relationship Enumeration

  • "is part of"
  • "contains"
  • "generated from"
  • "generates"
  • "is same as" -- snippet discussion
  • "modifies"
  • "modified by"
  • "revision of" -- may want to evolove reviewer, document, code, auditor, intent of modifier....

?? how represent a revision of an SPDX file? provenance, adjustments?? derived from.

Element Usage Enumeration

  • source
  • executable
  • dynamic library
  • static library
  • data files (image, audio, visuals, etc.)
  • test (data, frameworks)
  • build tools
  • documentation (man, README, SPDX, DEP5, etc.)
  • reference implementation

WORKFLOW is a 3.1 issue.
