FYI. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: DOAP and software description Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2006 21:34:34 +0000 From: Edd Dumbill <edd@usefulinc.com> To: Karl Dubost <karl@w3.org> CC: Shadi Abou-Zahra <shadi@w3.org>, public-wai-ert@w3.org, www-qa@w3.org Sorry for the delay in responding. You are right that the current vocabulary for describing releases is a little primitive. It basically comes down to having multiple doap:release properties, e.g. <release> <Version> <name>unstable</name> <created>2003-06-07</created> <revision>0.4.1</revision> </Version> </release> That covers release dates, versions, names, you could hang extra properties off that. CodeZoo added file-release to point to a tarball/zip, and I included that. I am open to considering new properties for inclusion based on a demonstration of the need for them. I have been considering a vocab to represent dependencies for some time, for instance.
