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. Querying this graph can drive higher-level organizational outcomes such as audit, policy, risk management, and even developer assistance.

Conceptually, GUAC occupies the “aggregation and synthesis” layer of the software supply chain transparency logical model:

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

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.
