Views on SPDX Documents¶
- Discussed the SPDX document views.
- See the “Thomas: Add data “views” to the specification “topic in https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vJqWGU02ynzrJ5CvmX1z2mBssOSpuBvuKene8jVJGNI for details on this and previous discussions on the topic
- Agreed on the call to have the views be a separate enhancement from the profiles
- Left open two possible proposals for discussion next week:
- Create a new document type “SpdxViewDocument” which has a mandatory reference to the detailed SPDX document. All other fields are the same as an SPDX document except they are optional.
- Pros: Easy to identify a view document, can easily specify the mandatory and optional fields in the RDF Schema
- Cons: Would duplicate the SPDX document schema and create some maintenance challenges for the spec.
- Add a relationship “SpdxDocumentViewOf” which would apply at the document level. If this relationship is present, only the document level properties would be mandatory.
- Pros: Simple addition to the spec
- Cons: Mandatory fields could not be specified in the RDF Schema since it is conditional on the presence of a relationship
