A test version of the online tools is available at http://52.32.53.255/
Walked through the functionality
Discussion on the namespace features
Organizations – can only be added by authorized users
- We could use this to help maintain who has the ability to add which organizations to license namespace
Request Mark Atwoord (Amazon), Philippe (NexB), and FOSSology to review the new namespace functionality

Overview of current process
RDF OWL document is the base format used to generate all other documents
OWL document is kept manually in sync with spec with the spec being the source of record
Desire to change process in the future
Automatically keep document and OWL documents in sync
Have a different mechanism for describing the constraints that is more convenient than OWL
- OMG is using OWL and SHACL
- SHAX is another possibility
- David is working on a graph language that may help – will keep us up to date

Currently, principle stated that documents are focused on facts
Some of the proposals for new profile introduce things that are not necessary facts
Proposal to extend Relationship to include things that may not be facts
Proposal to add Annotations to capture assertions about information in the document.
Example – expiration information, but from the SPDX ASIA call, there is also product usage (ok for testing), as well as affiliation of components with specific products.
