OpenTracing Specification Official Website: http://opentracing.io/spec.

The opentracing/specification repository is a place to document (and discuss) the OpenTracing specification itself (independent of any particular language or platform).

Historically this activity took place on the docs repo (github.com/opentracing/opentracing.io), but that became awkward since trivial website presentation and highly non-trivial semantic discussions were happening under the same namespace. The specification repository was thus proposed as part of opentracing.io#144.

There are two important files in this repository:

specification.md, a versioned description of the current pan-language OpenTracing standard

semantic_conventions.md, a document describing conventional Span tags and log keys for common semantic scenarios
