'packages' in XML vs. 'package' in RDF

Open tsteenbe opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

Found packages used in spdx.xml example, why is it not package like RDF?

Tend to agree - this is a general problem where we use the plural form for all the XML properties when in XML it should be singular.

Since this is a change to XML which is not stable in 2.2, I'm moving this issue to 2.3

@tsteenbe how important is this to be resolved in 2.3? I've got a pretty deep stack of 2.3 work to do before release.

From call, unless someone cares about this XML and willing to generate a PR, move this to handle in 3.0

In 3.0, we agreed all properties should be singular for all serializations which resolves this issue. Closing.
