Description
Abstract:	This report provides an overview of the capabilities and usage of software identification (SWID) tags as part of a comprehensive software lifecycle.

This report introduces SWID tags in an operational context, provides guidelines for the creation of interoperable SWID tags, and highlights key usage scenarios for which SWID tags are applicable.
