[ADTF] usability of the ADTF maintained list of applications and demos

Libby, et.al.

I've been thinking about the ADTF maintained list of applications and  
demos and I have a couple of comments.

There are far more RDF [1] and OWL [2] implementations out there that  
are mentioned on the implementation pages. Ideally, I'd like to link  
from these implementation pages back to the ADTF maintained list of  
applications and demos. More specifically, from each of these  
implementation pages, I'd like to link to the demos / applications that  
use the corresponding standards.

So in essences, it would be nice to have this organizable by the  
standards in which the demos and applications use.

Earlier this week, I ran a Roundtable discussion at the BioIT  
conference about Semantic Web and Life Sciences. There was a strong  
request / desire to be able to select Semantic Web applications that  
were related only to Life Sciences (and further sub-divide into  
additional specificity).

 From these and similar conversations I've had with others, it would be  
nice to have these applications and demos organizable by domain as  
well.

 From your home page [3], I see the current proposal (which makes a lot  
of sense to me) is in part to decentralize some of these project  
descriptions and help people create DOAP files. DOAP however, in and of  
it self is not enough for organizing the projects in different ways as  
I described above so some additional work (e.g. additional predicates,  
SKOS declarations of domain topics, standards, etc.) would have to be  
done.

I'm curious how near the functionality described above is within the  
scope of your group?
