Description
> [Graph for Understanding Artifact Composition (GUAC)](https://guac.sh/) aggregates software security metadata into a high fidelity graph database—normalizing entity identities and mapping standard relationships between them. Querying this graph can drive higher-level organizational outcomes such as audit, policy, risk management, and even developer assistance. [^1]
Since CD has graph output from our Manifest, integrating CD into GUAC is very attractive for them. They would like us to help contribute a parser in Go that can parse our manifest file.
We should also consider #570 to ensure a stable contract.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the Manifest JSON Schema and issue #570, which is identified as relevant to establishing a stable contract. Determine the required Go parser scope and GUAC integration expectations; done means the manifest can be parsed and its graph output is consumable by GUAC.
