Specifies the format of the BOM. This helps to identify the file as CycloneDX since BOMs do not have a filename convention nor does JSON schema support namespaces.
The version of the CycloneDX specification a BOM is written to (starting at version 1.2)
"1.3"
Every BOM generated should have a unique serial number, even if the contents of the BOM being generated have not changed over time. The process or tool responsible for creating the BOM should create random UUID's for every BOM generated.
Must match regular expression:^urn:uuid:[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{12}$ "urn:uuid:3e671687-395b-41f5-a30f-a58921a69b79"
The version allows component publishers/authors to make changes to existing BOMs to update various aspects of the document such as description or licenses. When a system is presented with multiple BOMs for the same component, the system should use the most recent version of the BOM. The default version is '1' and should be incremented for each version of the BOM that is published. Each version of a component should have a unique BOM and if no changes are made to the BOMs, then each BOM will have a version of '1'.

DEPRECATED - DO NOT USE. This will be removed in a future version. Use the pedigree element instead to supply information on exactly how the component was modified. A boolean value indicating is the component has been modified from the original. A value of true indicates the component is a derivative of the original. A value of false indicates the component has not been modified from the original.
Component pedigree is a way to document complex supply chain scenarios where components are created, distributed, modified, redistributed, combined with other components, etc. Pedigree supports viewing this complex chain from the beginning, the end, or anywhere in the middle. It also provides a way to document variants where the exact relation may not be known.
No Additional PropertiesDescribes zero or more components in which a component is derived from. This is commonly used to describe forks from existing projects where the forked version contains a ancestor node containing the original component it was forked from. For example, Component A is the original component. Component B is the component being used and documented in the BOM. However, Component B contains a pedigree node with a single ancestor documenting Component A - the original component from which Component B is derived from.
No Additional ItemsDescendants are the exact opposite of ancestors. This provides a way to document all forks (and their forks) of an original or root component.
No Additional ItemsVariants describe relations where the relationship between the components are not known. For example, if Component A contains nearly identical code to Component B. They are both related, but it is unclear if one is derived from the other, or if they share a common ancestor.
