RE: [InfoGathering] Can DOAP cover?

Good idea! 
For licensing we may need some more categories (e.g., 'commercial') and a
way how to link to the license itself.

Currently it largely contains Semantic Web projects because they are the
first to use DOAP. Maybe a restriction like that is not necessary at this
point. But that should be easy to do provided that there's some way to
identify what projects are related to Semantic Web. 

One way to do that would be to categorise or assign topics to projects and
to select only those from the "Semantic Web" category. You can also find
some Semantic Web projects on doapstore.org by looking for projects that use
RDF [1]or OWL. While strictly speaking RDF is not a programming language
some projects do use it in their DOAP descriptions.
