OpenSCD is used as a upstream dependency for CoMPAS. The major difference is that CoMPAS provides back-end services. OpenSCD is pure browser based.

Governance
The OpenSCD project started by Omicron Electornics and contains contributions from Alliander, Transpower and more. It currently has no project charter like CoMPAS does.
OpenSCD governance structure (DRAFT)
In order to be more clear on the roles and responsibilities in OpenSCD, a governance setup is needed. This becomes more urgent with the move towards OpenSCD-core.
Maintainer:
Dictator on a specific OpenSCD repository; The maintainer can decide anything.
Coordinates development/review work in the repository
Responsible for the quality of the code and quality level
Open Questions:
When to give someone a new repository? Who decides that? Who has rights to start e new repository?
Why not bring OpenSCD under the LF energy umbrella for clear governance and support?
