Document how to describe dependencies between artifacts and source changes

[m-linner-ericsson]

Description

In the Eiffel protocol we can describe requirement of dependencies via compositions and validity checking. The describes does not describe the result but only the requirement.

Motivation

Today the protocol does not specify how to describe dependencies between artifacts and source changes.

Exemplification

Some ideas to elaborate the problem

• Either Eiffel introduces a way to describe dependencies between artifacts and source changes in some similar manner that SBOM formats does it. E.g. CONTAINS or DEPENDS_ON in the SPDX relations
• Let Eiffel refer to a SBOM format that handles dependencies between artifacts and source changes

Benefits

A good dependencies description between artifacts and source changes will help the user of Eiffel to understand dependencies.

Possible Drawbacks

None that I can think of
