   I agree that UUIDs are far from being transparent. I based the proposal 
above, based on the current [TEA 
specification](https://github.com/CycloneDX/transparency-exchange-api/blob/main/spec/openapi.yaml),
 which does not allow to lookup a component by name. That is probably something 
that needs to be fixed, if we want to use a TEA server to define a PURL type.
   
   In the example I gave:
   
   ```
   pkg:tea/apache.org/[email protected]
   ```
   
   `0109bbc5-ae05-4033-b6f4-046009d7785b` is the UUID of a Component. The 
Component Release can be retrieved by version number by calling 
`/component/0109bbc5-ae05-4033-b6f4-046009d7785b/releases` and filtering the 
results. This is hardly a practical method, so this part of TEA would also need 
to be improved.
   
   According to the PURL spec, it would be also possible to create a PURL like:
   
   ```
   
pkg:tea/apache.org/0109bbc5-ae05-4033-b6f4-046009d7785b@605d0ecb-1057-40e4-9abf-c400b10f0345
   ```
   
   but this looks even worse.
