Discussions

Prototype Presentation

• Presented a prototype for scanning expressions with OJO.
• Initially, I was storing expressions directly as strings.
• Received feedback that storing expressions as strings could not allow modifications.
• Recieved suggestion to store license names as their references (licenseId) and the relationships between them (operators).

Schema Proposal

• Was asked to propose a schema for storing license expressions.
• Inquired if using a graph database like Neo4j would be suitable.
• It was considered a good idea but mentors suggested not to use it as mixing two databases (PostgreSQL and Neo4j) would complicate things.

Activities

• Researched various methods to store license expressions.
• Found that an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) is a good way to store expressions.
• Proposed two types of schema for storing license expressions.
