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:

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
