​I'd like to see this too. My idea was to translate the tagged values into
a JSON data object and then produce a web page based on the object. This
gives me the opportunity to switch to RDF later, but its not what I'm
after. I want to be able to scan a large directory of source code
directories, like the Yocto project produces and be able to browse that
easily with a web browser. That data is ephemeral since we do lots of
builds and our CI is chugging along all the time, the RDF is just too
heavy-weight here. I've started work on something called SPDXL which is a
perl script to do what I've described. Perhaps there are other ways to do
this -- I don't want to reinvent the wheel. We can switch to shell or
python if that is preferred but we should find a way to get a tool like
this since I suspect more than just you and I will use this.​
