 +== Description ​== 
 + 
 +Current scanners search for regular expressions or text similarity of license textsHowever, this can lead to interpretations issues when it comes to conclude ​the actual condition of licensing of files. Opposed to genuine ​license ​texts, open source software authors use prosaic descriptions referring to licensing. If scanning understands different licensing artifacts, conclusions can be automated at higher precision. 
 + 
 +== Tasks == 
 + 
 +From an existing database of licensing texts and descriptions a model needs to createdBased on that model a the existing scanner is extended. With distinguishing recognition by types of licensing artifacts, conclusions can be automated more efficiently.

 +== Description == 
 + 
 +A REST API in the straight forward sense of FOSSology would be about handling uploads or triggering scanners. However, a REST API in the sense of the SPDX standard, an XML format for expressing license compliance would be different than the traditional endpoints of the FOSSology application. For working in the sense of the SPDX standard it would be about file or source package centric endpoints for exchanging license and copyright, making hash sums of files or packages queryable as resource. A similar interface could be implemented as command line tool.

 +  * SPDX license information standard https://​spdx.org 
 + 
 +== Tasks == 
 + 
 +Create a REST endpoint when FOSSology is deploying, allowing for exchanging license information for file hashes.
