Hi Nuno,

As far as I understand it using a company web address does not necessarily mean 
the document is available over the Internet. It's just a way to provide 
uniqueness. We are also looking at providing a default name space at spdx.org 
but that would require use of a UID in case someone did not have domain name.

Subject: Re: proposed language for referencing element in one SPDX document 
from another

Hi Bill,

The proposed approach is useful. I will try it out in practice.

Just have one question in regards to:
> When releasing an SPDX document for external consumption, its basename 
> must be unique within the namespace of the producing organization.
> (e.g. http://acme.com/spdx/mypackage-1-2.spdx  where the organization 
> will not publish another file with basename 'mypackage-1-2.spdx' )

I have cases where the document is included on the distribution package but 
where the owners are not willing to make it available to public (just privately 
to selected companies).

Meaning, a network location isn't possible as namespace. I'm currently 
referring to other SPDX documents within the folder structure as solution.

To keep the URI scheme possible and reference documents within the folders, 
would something like this be possible?

file:///./spdx/mypackage-1-2.spdx

Or perhaps I misunderstood the intention of namespaces. My thanks in advance.


With kind regards,
Nuno Brito
