The {metæffekt} Universe is a knowledge database covering licenses and exceptions (terms) following defined strategies and objectives. The underlying concept is to provide a terms database that enables a scanner to deterministically identify licenses and license exceptions in binary and source artifacts.
The {metæffekt} Portfolio Manager provides a simple and structured way to manage software-related documents—such as SBOMs and reports—while serving as a core component in an API-driven, service-oriented architecture for integration into diverse processing environments.
The known software components are matched against known security vulnerabilities from multiple sources to generate a Vulnerability Assessment Dashboard (HTML) and Vulnerability Report (PDF).
This process involves three key phases: The Vulnerability Data Mirror, the Inventory Enrichment Pipeline and the Dashboard & Report generation

Asset descriptors are a way to parameterize more complex processing steps or the generation of documents.

Based on such a configuration asset-descriptor-centric plugins can evaluate and process the information.
