| 3 | +The AboutCode community designs, develops, and sustains an open source |
| 4 | +ecosystem of interoperable tools, accurate data, and practical standards to |
| 5 | +enable organizations of any size to identify open source or other third-party |
| 6 | +software, automate license compliance, and improve software supply chain |
| 7 | +security. AboutCode software and data can provide a comprehensive solution for some organizations, or an organization can reuse AboutCode "building blocks" |
| 8 | +in their own systems and workflows. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +The purpose of this Getting Started section is to help you understand what software or data AboutCode projects provide so that you can determine how to |
| 11 | +best use them to meet your requirements for software identification, license |
| 12 | +compliance and supply chain security. Our approach is to describe common use cases and show you how specific AboutCode capabilities apply to those use |
| 13 | +cases. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +The use cases are grouped according to 3 major topics: |
| 16 | +- Software identification |
| 17 | +- License compliance |
| 18 | +- Supply chain security |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +If you already know which AboutCode projects you are interested in you can |
| 21 | +find project information in the **AboutCode Projects Overview** section of the |
| 22 | +home page of this website. Each project card provides comprehensive project |
| 23 | +information including: |
| 24 | +- Description |
| 25 | +- Documentation URL |
| 26 | +- GitHub Repository URL |
| 27 | +- Licenses for software, data and services as applicable |
| 28 | +- Primary language |
| 29 | +- Platform |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +The projects are presented in 5 categories: |
| 32 | +- Applications: These projects offer an application that you can install in the cloud or a local environment. |
| 33 | +- ScanCode: These projects are components or extensions of ScanCode. |
| 34 | +- Package-URL: These projects provide tools and data to support the use of the PURL (Package-URL) or VERS (Version Range Specifier) specifications. |
| 35 | +- Inspectors: AboutCode Inspectors are special-purpose analysis tools. You can run them as a ScanCode Toolkit plugin, as steps in a ScanCode.io pipeline, or from the command line. |
| 36 | +- Libraries: AboutCode libraries are key building blocks for the AboutCode software and data stack - they have also been incorporated into other major |
| 37 | +FOSS projects and are available for use by anyone. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +If you questions about how to apply AboutCode building blocks to your requirements please join one of our community meetings or on Gitter or Slack. |
| 40 | +See our [Meetings page](https://aboutcode-org.github.io/www.aboutcode.org/docs/about/about-meetings) for details. |
