Summary

Overview of software identification (SWID) tags, which can be at the level of:

  • Corpus (pre-installation, eg package archives)
  • Primary
  • Patch
  • Supplemental

Each with various metadata encoded in the SWID's XML format.

As they are intended to be used by:

  • software providers
  • providers of software build, packaging, and installation tools
  • providers of inventory-based products and services
  • software consumers

And best practices for tag creators.
