NAME

SBOM::CycloneDX::Formulation - Formula

SYNOPSIS

SBOM::CycloneDX::Formulation->new();

DESCRIPTION

SBOM::CycloneDX::Formulation describes the formulation of any referencable object within the BOM, including components, services, metadata, declarations, or the BOM itself. This may encompass how the object was created, assembled, deployed, tested, certified, or otherwise brought into its present form. Common examples include software build pipelines, deployment processes, AI/ML model training, cryptographic key generation or certification, and third-party audits. Processes are modeled using declared and observed formulas, composed of workflows, tasks, and individual steps.

METHODS

SBOM::CycloneDX::Formulation inherits all methods from SBOM::CycloneDX::Base and implements the following new ones.

SBOM::CycloneDX::Formulation->new( %PARAMS )

Properties:

components, Transient components that are used in tasks that constitute one or more of this formula's workflows
properties, Provides the ability to document properties in a name-value store. This provides flexibility to include data not officially supported in the standard without having to use additional namespaces or create extensions. Unlike key-value stores, properties support duplicate names, each potentially having different values. Property names of interest to the general public are encouraged to be registered in the CycloneDX Property Taxonomy (https://github.com/CycloneDX/cyclonedx-property-taxonomy). Formal registration is optional.
services, Transient services that are used in tasks that constitute one or more of this formula's workflows
workflows, List of workflows that can be declared to accomplish specific orchestrated goals and independently triggered.
