The lack of consensus is on what an SBOM is for. Even the NIST recommendation which came out of Executive Order 14028 had little guidance on how to apply SBOM . At any sort of scale, it isn't clear how an SBOM shipped with each package

I use this technique to build a personal dashboard. Rather than try to scrape data, then come up with a nice presentation for it, I just find a nice representation on the web for the data I want on the dashboard, then use Puppeteer[1] to au
