## Related Work
[SPDX (Software Package Data Exchange)][spdx-url] is a specification that provides low-level details of components, including all files, hashes, authors, and copyrights. SPDX also defines over 300 open source license IDs. CycloneDX builds on top of the work SPDX has accomplished with license IDs, but varies greatly in its approach towards building a software bill of material specification.

[SWID (ISO/IEC 19770-2:2015)][swid-url] is used primarily to identify installed software and is the preferred format of the NVD. SWID tags are used in the National Vulnerability Database to describe vulnerable components. The CycloneDX specification complements this work as CycloneDX documents can incorporate SWID tags and other high-level SWID metadata and optionally include entire SWID documents. Use of SWID tag ID's are useful in determining if a specific component has known vulnerabilities.

[CPE (Common Platform Enumeration)][cpe-url] is a specification that describes the vendor, name, and version for an application, operating system, or hardware device. CPE identifiers are used in the National Vulnerability Database to describe vulnerable components. The CycloneDX specification complements this work as CycloneDX documents can easily be used to construct exact CPE identifiers that are useful in determining if a specific component has known vulnerabilities.
