[This is a more a heads-up to find interested parties rather than
announcing a finished product. I'm especially looking for people who
want their favourite programming language to have DOAP support. See the
DOAOP home page, link below, for more information.]
DOAP (Description of a Project) Vocabulary
<http://usefulinc.com/doap>
DOAP is a project to create an XML/RDF vocabulary to describe open
source projects.
Initial goals include:
* Internationalizable description of a software project and its
associated resources, including participants and Web resources
* Basic tools to enable the easy creation and consumption of such
descriptions
* Interoperability with other popular Web metadata
projects (RSS, FOAF, Dublin Core)
* The ability to extend the vocabulary for specialist purposes
I am working towards a beta release of tools and documentation for
the vocabulary, and now want to raise awareness so potential
contributors can get involved. The project has a mailing list,
linked from the home page.
regards
-- Edd
