SPDX license id

• Category: property
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/rights
• Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)

The SPDX License List short identifier of a licence — the canonical machine-readable licence id (e.g. "MIT", "Apache-2.0", "CC-BY-4.0", "GPL-3.0-only"). The bridge to the SPDX / SBOM world (spdx:licenseId); the SPDX List also assigns each id a stable IRI under http://spdx.org/licenses/. Functional: a licence has one canonical SPDX id (a compound choice is an SPDX licence expression in the same literal).

Structure

Property shape: datatype property; gmeow:License -> rdfs:Literal; functional

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:spdxLicenseId from gmeow:License to rdfs:Literal when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to carry the canonical SPDX short identifier of a licence — the machine-readable id that bridges to SPDX / SBOM tooling and resolves to a stable SPDX IRI by reference (P5).

Avoid when

• Avoid using it for the coarse family (that is gmeow:licenseFamily) or the human-readable name (gmeow:spdxLicenseName), and avoid splitting a compound choice across triples — a dual choice is one SPDX licence expression in the same literal.

How to use

• Set gmeow:spdxLicenseId once per License (functional) to a valid SPDX id or expression; consumers resolve the stable http://spdx.org/licenses/ IRI from it rather than importing the licence text.

Examples

• ex:apacheLicense gmeow:spdxLicenseId "Apache-2.0".
