- software composition, for collections of software (Packages), individual
Files, and portions of files (Snippets)
- software build information
- artificial intelligence (AI) models
- datasets
- creator, supplier and distributor identity information
- provenance and integrity
- licenses and copyrights, including a curated list of licenses and exceptions
