SPDX 2.0 next steps and discussion

  • Discussion on model changes to support the instance diagrams
    • Proposal to add a "ChangeLog" to relationship
      • Issue with changelog only being applicable to one type of relationship
      • Should we have subclasses of SpdxElementRelationship instead of or in addition to the relationship type
      • Do we need to describe the file additions/subtractions?
        • Could be computed from 2 complete SPDX documents?
        • Supporting a changelog is more compact
        • The SPDX file represents a deliverable, which should be the exploded view
        • Both the changed file SPDX and exploded SPDX point to the same GIT commit
      • Need further discussion on the patch use cases and modeling
  • Discussion on packages and relationships
    • Anything that is licenenseable will be an SpdxElement
    • Distros and Packages are different
    • Packages are currently defined (subclass of SpdxElement)
    • Distros are not currently defined - perhaps we could add them as a new subclass of SpdxElement
  • Moving usage from SpdxElement to SpdxElementRelationship
    • Usage is important to license obligations
      • Should be modeled "one level above"
    • Reviewed current usage enumerations
    • Tentatively agreed to move the property to SpdxElementRelationship -will confirm after the tech team has had a chance to think through the proposal more carefully
