Agenda

SPDX 2.0 Updates and discussion Maven proposal for tools Markos Project

SPDX 2.0

  • 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

Maven use in SPDX tools

  • 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

MarkOS Project

  • 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
