As a follow-up to last week's tech call, I went back through the model and
compared it to the instance diagrams.

 

I found one significant discrepancy - there are not classes or properties to
describe a change between SPDX documents.  This would affect the patch
scenario where one SPDX document is describing changes to files relative to
another SPDX document.

 

Proposal: add an optional property to the SPDXElementRelationship class
ChangeLog which would contain a description of any files added, deleted, or
modified.  One issue with this is the property only makes sense for certain
relationship types.  Perhaps we could discuss on the call.

 

During the review, I noticed that the model has not been updated with the
Usage proposal (see
http://wiki.spdx.org/view/Technical_Team/Proposals/2012-02-01/Usage_Relation
ship_Proposal).  I don't remember if we closed on this one - perhaps we
could review during today's call.

 

One other item - during the general call, Phil requested a presentation of
the SPDX 2.0 model to the general meeting which I agreed to - hope that's OK
w/the tech team.  I can pull together 4-5 slides for a 15 minute overview
with about 15 minutes of discussion and send it out for review by the tech
team prior to the next general call.
