Root provides security advisories for container images with patched vulnerabilities across multiple ecosystems including Alpine, Debian, Ubuntu, npm, PyPI, and Go modules.

This PR reserves two database-specific prefixes:

  • ROOT-OS-: For OS-level package vulnerabilities (Alpine, Debian, Ubuntu, etc.)
  • ROOT-APP-: For application-level package vulnerabilities (npm, PyPI, Go, etc.)

Root uses existing ecosystems and does not introduce a new ecosystem.

Changes:

  • Add Root to README.md data sources list
  • Add ROOT-OS and ROOT-APP prefix entries to docs/schema.md
  • Update validation/schema.json prefix pattern to include ROOT-OS and ROOT-APP

Can you elaborate on this please? Looking at other entries here like: MinimOS, Chainguard and Echo, it looks like they have the same type of link, but I might be missing the intention here
