Dear all, I'm writing today about the formation of a new committee in SPDX!
During SPDX Tech Team discussions in recent months, it has become clear that there are several key opportunities for SPDX 3.0: the ability to verify the integrity of individual Elements independent of a containing document, multiple equivalent serialisation formats capable of round-trip conversion, and a clearly demarcated split between SPDX's information model and data models. All of these opportunities hinge on having a canonical serialisation format. This is a representation of SPDX data that is never ambiguous and is unaffected by stylistic or platform-specific concerns. As such, the SPDX Canonicalisation Committee will be dedicated to: - writing a specification for a canonical serialisation format for SPDX 3.0 data - determining processes for Element-level integrity and signing - making recommendations to the SPDX Tech Team about potential ambiguities found in the information model that might inhibit canonicalisation I have set a up a poll for the meeting time for this committee; please leave your preferences at this page: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/QbYR8EMd Feel free to resopnd to this email with your preferred times if that site doesn't work for you. Looking forward to hearing back from you and finding a good time to meet! Best wishes, Sebastian -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
