SPDX 2.0 Updates and discussion Maven proposal for tools Markos Project

Usage Field proposal (see http://wiki.spdx.org/view/Technical_Team/Proposals/2012-02-01/Usage_Relationship_Proposal)
- General agreement that usage is part of the relationship
- Discussion on how the relationships are impacted when nesting one SPDX document inside another SPDX document
  - Will any of the relationships be “overridden”?
  - Do we have sufficient mechanisms in the model? Annotation can be used.
  - Will consider in the instance diagramming effort
Mechanisms for tag/value format in capturing more complex relationships in SPDX 2.0
- Gary did some research and the Turtle RDF format can be made readable with sufficient namespace manipulation
- Gary to produce an SPDX 1.2 example of the Turtle format for discussion

Proposal to move to Maven builds for the SPDX tools and remove the libraries from the direct distribution
Most call participants were neutral to positive on use of Maven
Suggestion to look at Artifactory
- Update: It looks like the Artifactory repository will support the Maven POM files to be used in the SPDX Tools

The “Market for Open Source” (http://www.markosproject.eu/) has published an initial ontology (see http://www.markosproject.eu/downloads/deliverables/)
Bill has been in contact with the organization
Suggest that we track progress and perhaps sync up terms
