# A.1 Differences between V3.0 and V2.3 <a name="A.1"></a>

## SPDX meaning

In previous editions of the specification, SPDX meant "Software Package Data Exchange".

Starting with V3.0, the scope of SPDX has expanded beyond software and now means "System Package Data Exchange".

## Structural Differences

These are the most significant breaking changes requiring a change in logic to handle a different model or structure for the information. Each structural difference will describe the change, describe an approach to translate from 2.3 to 3.0, and provide a rationale for the change.
