Concepts and Terminology
All language-specific OpenTracing APIs share core concepts and terminology. These concepts are so central and important to the project that they have their own repository (github.com/opentracing/specification) and semver scheme.
This specification
repository houses two important files:
specification.md
is a versioned description of the current pan-language OpenTracing standardsemantic_conventions.md
describes conventional Span tags and log keys for common semantic scenarios
Both are versioned and the github repository is tagged according to the rules described by the versioning policy.
