Hi, Thanks to Sandor for researching this item. I agree that these vocabularies seem to be too unstable for us to adopt straight away. We need to further discuss how we want to proceed with identifying evaluation tools as assertors in EARL.

I also don't see the vocabulary to be widely deployed. I found a Firefox extension that shows DOAP metadata on a web page, a bunch of websites referring back to the DOAP homepage. Also the mailing list is not very active (http://lists.usefulinc.com/pipermail/doap-interest/). But I stumbled over another group http://www.garshol.priv.no/download/xsa/dtddoc.html. I think they are not active anymore. XSA (XML Software Autoupdate) deals with automatically keeping track of new releases of software products (intended for use mainly by maintainers of software indexes). See the whole desciption of the DTD at http://www.garshol.priv.no/download/xsa/dtddoc.html The version element can contain #PCDATA. I guess it's not what we are searching for, sorry :) lgs. >>> Shadi Abou-Zahra <shadi@w3.org> 20.05.2005 12:03:19 >>> Hi Sandor, Thanks for researchign and posting your findings.

Do you have an assessment of how widely deployed or how well supported this vocabulary is (for example industry)? > branch A string indicating the branch of this version, such as > stable, > unstable, gnome24, or gnome26 > name A release name, such as Panther > created Date of release in YYYY-MM-DD form > revision Revision number of the release, such as 1.0 Basically this seems like a basic and straight forward approach. However, we would need to assess how stable DOAP is before considering reusing it.
