Graph for Understanding Artifact Composition (GUAC) aggregates software security metadata into a high fidelity graph database—normalizing entity identities and mapping standard relationships between them.

A few examples of questions answered by GUAC include:

Quickstart

Refer to the Setup + Demo document to learn how to prepare your environment and try GUAC out!

Architecture

Here is an overview of the architecture of GUAC:

Supported input formats

Note that GUAC uses software identifiers standards to help link metadata together. However, these identifiers are not always available and heuristics need to be used to link them. Therefore, there may be unhandled edge cases and errors occuring when ingesting data. We appreciate if a comment can be made on the metadata quality issue.
