ISO/IEC 19770-2:20 15建立了标记软件的规范，以优化其识别和管理。 ISO/IEC 19770的这一部分适用于以下内容。 a)标签生产者:这些组织和/或工具创建软件识别(SWID)标签，供市场上的其他人使用。标签生产者可以是软件创建者组织、软件许可者组织的一部分，或者是第三方组织。这些组织和/或工具可以大致分为以下几类。 平台提供商:负责计算机或硬件设备和/或相关操作系统、虚拟环境或应用平台的实体，软件可以在其上安装或运行。支持ISO/IEC 19770这一部分的平台提供商可以在平台或操作系统级别额外提供标签管理能力。软件提供商:创建、许可或分发软件的实体。例如，软件创建者、独立软件开发者、顾问和以前制造的软件的重新打包者。软件创建者也可以是内部软件开发者。 标签工具提供者:提供创建软件识别标签的工具的实体。例如，开发环境中生成软件识别标签的工具，或可以代表安装过程创建标签的安装工具，和/或可以为最初不具有软件识别标签的已安装软件创建标签的桌面管理工具。 b)标签消费者:这些工具和/或组织利用来自SWID标签的信息，通常分为以下两大类:软件消费者:购买、安装和/或以其他方式消费软件的实体； IT发现和处理工具提供商:提供工具来收集、存储和处理软件识别标签的实体。这些工具可能针对各种不同的细分市场，包括软件安全、合规性和物流。 ISO/IEC 19770-2:20 15没有规定信息技术资产管理（ITAM）或其他IT相关流程，这些流程是协调软件权利与软件识别标签或其他IT要求所需的。 ISO/IEC 19770-2:20 15无意与任何组织的政策、程序或标准或任何国家或国际法律法规相冲突。

ISO/IEC 19770-2:2015 establishes specifications for tagging software to optimize its identification and management. This part of ISO/IEC 19770 applies to the following. a) Tag producers: these organizations and/or tools create software identification (SWID) tags for use by others in the market. A tag producer may be part of the software creator organization, the software licensor organization, or be a third-party organization. These organizations and/or tools can broadly be broken down into the following categories.

1. Platform providers: entities responsible for the computer or hardware device and/or associated operating system, virtual environment, or application platform, on which software may be installed or run. Platform providers which support this part of ISO/IEC 19770 may additionally provide tag management capabilities at the level of the platform or operating system.
2. Software providers: entities that create, license, or distribute software. For example, software creators, independent software developers, consultants, and repackagers of previously manufactured software. Software creators may also be in-house software developers.
3. Tag tool providers: entities that provide tools to create software identification tags. For example, tools within development environments that generate software identification tags, or installation tools that may create tags on behalf of the installation process, and/or desktop management tools that may create tags for installed software that did not originally have a software identification tag.

b) Tag consumers: these tools and/or organizations utilize information from SWID tags and are typically broken down into the following two major categories:

1. software consumers: entities that purchase, install, and/or otherwise consume software;
2. IT discovery and processing tool providers: entities that provide tools to collect, store, and process software identification tags. These tools may be targeted at a variety of different market segments, including software security, compliance, and logistics.

ISO/IEC 19770-2:2015 does not prescribe Information Technology Asset Management (ITAM) or other IT-related processes required for reconciliation of software entitlements with software identification tags or other IT requirements. ISO/IEC 19770-2:2015 is not intended to conflict either with any organization's policies, procedures or standards or with any national or international laws and regulations.
