## Current Projects

### SBOM Catalog

To provide a better overview of the available tooling and their capabilities, this group maintains an SBOM Catalog which can be found under the following link:

[https://sbom-catalog.openssf.org/](https://sbom-catalog.openssf.org/)

If you want to get involved, please see the document [here](/SBOM-Catalog/contribute.md)

#### TODO

More data needs to be added to the catalog

### Establishing SBOM Best Practices for open source projects

The goal of this project is to understand what open source projects need to start publishing SBOMs

#### TODO

This document needs to be better defined to construct a plan to help open source projects

### Best Practices for Naming and Directory Conventions for SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials) in Open Source Projects

This document describes where to put an SBOM to be distributed and how to name it. It currently has a very narrow scope.

#### TODO

It needs to be expanded to cover other use cases

### The goals for this group as defined in the mobilization plan

- The requirements needed to build use cases using SBOMs are clearly
understood, documented and implemented in current SBOM specifications
- There are “friction free” open source tools that generate SBOMs that meet
these requirements
- There is readily accessible education, awareness and implementation

### Formatting Specifications

For the purposes of establishing ubiquity to ensure sustainability for SBOM related tooling, and future solutions for consumption, “supported” formats must be defined. At this time there are two supported formats that will be in scope for the purposes of this group: [CycloneDX](https://cyclonedx.org) and [SPDX](https://spdx.dev).
