Technical Summary

   ISO/IEC 19770-2:2015 Software Identification (SWID) tags provide an
   extensible XML-based structure to identify and describe individual
   software components, patches, and installation bundles.  SWID tag
   representations can be too large for devices with network and storage
   constraints.  This document defines a concise representation of SWID
   tags: Concise SWID (CoSWID) tags.  CoSWID supports a similar set of
   semantics and features as SWID tags, as well as new semantics that
   allow CoSWIDs to describe additional types of information, all in a
   more memory efficient format.

Working Group Summary

The only controversy was related to the document signing defined in CoSWID and 
if that should be using a JWT/CWT  compatible signature or the one defined in 
the standard.

Document Quality

This document has been reviewed by the WG and changes were made in response to 
AD and directorate reviews during IETF LC.  There are dependencies (and review 
from) the RATS WG.  Maturation was also coordinated with ISO (working on SWID) 
through a WG participant.
