Hello,
I'm working on a PURL[1] server just for DOAP - http://doapurl.org.
You'll be able to search for DOAP by a short project name, or if there
are multiple projects with the exact name you can specify which you want
using the PURL resolver's single-level category.
Example PURL's look like:
http://doapurl.org/dev-python/doaplib
http://doapurl.org/net-semweb/doapfiend
A command-line client I'm working on, doapfiend, will let you fetch and
display DOAP using:
doapfiend <project name>
Or, quicker, no searching needed by a server:
doapfiend dev-python/doaplib
Unlike a regular PURL server, only members of an OSS project will be
able to create and edit PURLs for their own projects. See my blog
article for a bit more about using OpenId to determine who's creating
the PURL.
I hope to get the basic PURL creation web form open for testing by Sunday.
More details are on my doapspace blog[2] where I'll be writing several
more articles about this.
I'm looking for feedback, please. Does this seem like a good way for
people to find DOAP? Is it SemWeb enough for you RDF people?
Thanks,
Rob
