DOAP [1] is designed specifically for software projects, and covers most of what you mention. I believe one exception is a term for dependencies. As it happens I have one of those that needs licking into shape, in a general-purpose project vocabulary [2] - prj:dependsOn. In it's current form the schema probably isn't consistent with the definitions in DOAP (or even with itself), but it will be as soon as I have a minute ;-) Suggestions appreciated. Cheers, Danny.
