Abstract

This specification describes the SPDX® language, defined as a dictionary of named properties and classes using W3C's RDF Technology.

SPDX® is a designed to allow the exchange of data about software packages. This information includes general information about the package, licensing information about the package as a whole, a manifest of files contained in the package and licensing information related to the contained files.
