# YAML Model for Semantic Conventions
|
|
|
|
The YAML descriptions of semantic convention contained in this directory are intended to
|
|
be used by the various OpenTelemetry language implementations to aid in automatic
|
|
generation of semantics-related code.
|
|
|
|
## Generation
|
|
|
|
These YAML files are used by the make target `table-generation` to generate consistently
|
|
formattted Markdown tables for all semantic conventions in the specification. Run it from the root of this repository using the command
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make table-generation
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more information, see the [semantic convention generator](https://github.com/open-telemetry/build-tools/tree/master/semantic-conventions)
|
|
in the OpenTelemetry build tools repository.
|
|
Using this build tool, it is also possible to generate code for use in OpenTelemetry
|
|
language projects.
