What is the value of documentNamespace? about spdx-java-library HOT 4 CLOSED

I suggest adding SpdxConstants.PROP_DOCUMENT_NAMESPACE to SKIPPED_PROPERTIES here

This way it will get ignored here and no value with name "documentNamespace" will be added to the document in the modelStore

from spdx-java-library.

thus, one of the procedures -- either generating a document from scratch or deserializing an existing one -- seems to be buggy.

Agree

This also raises the question of why the documentNamespace property is desirable in the first place, as it seems to simply mirror the documentUri.

These are the same - the reason for the documentNamespace in the serialized document is to have a place to store it even though it is not technically a property of the document itself. This isn't needed in some formats, like RDF, which natively support namespaces.

I suggest adding SpdxConstants.PROP_DOCUMENT_NAMESPACE to SKIPPED_PROPERTIES

That does look like a good solution.

@armintaenzertng - did you want to do a pull request and see if it passes all the unit tests with this change?
