David,

That isn’t my recollection of the conversation.  Making it a data type breaks 
huge functionality that is key to linking SBOMs to other enterprise activities.

Subject: [EXT] [spdx-tech] Actor datatype


Punchlist item: Last week we decided that Actor should have always been a 
datatype rather than an Element as previously shown on the model diagram. The 
Actor datatype should label its identifiers without requiring any association 
with Identity elements.

This example File element shows how "creator" looks with "Identifier" having a 
specified syntax (name, email, uri, ...) and Actor being an Identifier having a 
specified subject type (person, organization, tool, any):

{
  "id": "urn:acme.dev:artifacts:gnu-coreutils/v9.1/src/du.c",
  "type": {
    "file": {
      "filePurpose": ["APPLICATION", "SOURCE"]
    }
  },
  "creator": [
    {"person": {"email": "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>"}}
  ],
  "created": "2022-04-05T22:00:00Z",
  "specVersion": "3.0",
  "profiles": ["Core", "Software"],
  "dataLicense": "CC0-1.0"
}
