Thanks, Sebastian! My vote is for using numerical representations of Enums.

Dear all, Today we continued our discussion on the format of Enumeration values (such as hash type or relationship type) in the Canonical Serialisation for SPDX 3.0. The conclusion was that either numbers or strings could be assigned uniquely and thus could be adequately defined as unambiguous. Human-readability would be slightly increased with strings, and compactness would be slightly improved when using numbers, but neither of these is a core goal of the Canonical Serialisation. Therefore we decided to simply call a vote and go with whatever people have a preference for! Please vote by responding to this email before Saturday whether you would prefer a string representation of Enumeration types or a numerical representation of Enumeration types. Note that the result of the vote does not apply to any other serialisation formats of SPDX - merely the Canonical Serialisation. Thank you! :) Best wishes, Sebastian
