The spec will provide a base library of metadata definitions for various common software products, components, and libraries that may exist on particular image (or volume or instance). These metadata definitions will make it easier for end users and admins to easily describe the software and its properties. This information will enable an improved and faster user experience for applying software metadata, searching based on software metadata, and viewing the software information about an image. Various improvements in horizon are underway to take advantage of this metadata. For example, a user launching an instance will be able to expand the image row to see additional information about the image. This will include providing the metadata definition for properties on the image. This same information will also be visible from the image and instance details page.

OpenStack Glance Specifications
This git repository is used to hold approved design specifications for additions to the Glance project. Reviews of the specs are done in gerrit, using a similar workflow to how we review and merge changes to the code itself.
The layout of this repository is:
specs/<release>/You can find an example spec in specs/template.rst.
Specifications are proposed for a given release by adding them to the specs/<release> directory and posting it for review. The implementation status of a blueprint for a given release can be found by looking at the blueprint in launchpad. Not all approved blueprints will get fully implemented.
Specifications have to be re-proposed for every release. The review may be quick, but even if something was previously approved, it should be re-reviewed to make sure it still makes sense as written.
Prior to the Juno development cycle, this repository was not used for spec reviews. Reviews prior to Juno were completed entirely through Launchpad blueprints:
http://blueprints.launchpad.net/glancePlease note, Launchpad blueprints are still used for tracking the current status of blueprints. For more information, see:
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/BlueprintsFor more information about working with gerrit, see:
http://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html#development-workflowTo validate that the specification is syntactically correct (i.e. get more confidence in the Jenkins result), please execute the following command:
$ toxAfter running tox, the documentation will be available
for viewing in HTML format in the doc/build/ directory.
Please do not checkin the generated HTML files as a part of your
