Documentation for SPDX including SEVA¶
- James provided a document
- Produced from the XML document
- Extension to allow security classifications for each element (e.g. confidential)
- Uses ISM schema
- Discussion on approach
- Document in sections vs get experience with proposed sections prior to specifying
- Document in sections first is the traditional approach for SPDX, may have “culture shock” switching to a more prototyping approach
- Danger in specifying first – may create implementation challenges and may create specs that are not widely used
- Discussion on scope and prioritization
- Large scope – many new sections and properties
- Suggestion to prioritize by importance and ease of standardization
- Discussion on the modeling
- Agreed modeling will be helpful
- Plan going forward:
- Next week Mathew will review some of the new sections/areas being proposed and help prioritize which areas would be most useful
- Next week’s call will focus on the use cases / prioritization
- In 2 weeks, Gary will propose an update to the model which will include the higher priority areas/sections
