Open Source Enrichment Pack in Flexera One Technopedia API
Note:This feature is available with Technopedia using the Technopedia API.
Work continues to bring various enrichment packs (content packs) associated with products and releases that are captured in Technopedia. Two of these packs were already part of the general availability of the Technopedia API: Lifecycle and Support and Hardware Specifications. Now, the Open Source Enrichment Pack is also available in the Technopedia API.
The Open Source Enrichment Pack is included as part of Technopedia Enrichment Pack subscription (available to all Flexera One IT Visibility customers as well as customers with Technopedia-only subscription). It is currently only accessible through the Flexera One Technopedia Public API (GraphQL). Flexera is actively working to make it an integral part of IT Visibility's inventory data using IT Visibility inventory dashboards as well as export capabilities.
This new Open Source Enrichment Pack enables Technopedia to drive various open source use cases by providing attributes to accurately identify whether a particular software application or component is open source and identify the type of restrictions associated with it. This enrichment pack will be further enhanced to facilitate an organizations’ capability to better manage composition of their software assets depending on their appetite or aversion towards incorporating open source into their portfolio.
This enrichment is fully powered by the open source catalog coming from Flexera’s very own subsidiary, Revenera, using Revenera’s Software Composition Analysis (SCA) solution. Revenera's Code Insight is an industry-leading SCA solution that helps organizations manage their open source compliance and security needs, bringing in one of the largest open source knowledge bases in the industry, with more than 18 million components.
Details on attributes that are available as part of this pack can be found in our Technopedia API datasets documentation.
Note:The Open Source Enrichment attributes are captured in the following datasets: ScaOpenSource, componentLicenseData, versionLicenseData,and keywordsData.
