[doap-interest] DOAP and customers

[Erling Wegger Linde]

Well,

I think a customer is equally important as developer, maintainer,
helper, translater etc. I absolutely think that DOAP could benefit
from that.

It's nice that it exists other vocabularies that describes business
relationships, but how do they relate to DOAP? They probably don't
have a "isCustomerToProject" property?

I guess my workaround would be to create a foaf:Group with foaf:name
"Customers" or something, and then for every member of that group that
is related to a doap/foaf:Project use the foaf:currentProject og
foaf:pastProject properites..

It would just be so much easier if DOAP had a doap:customer property.
And you want DOAP to be used in commercial projects as well?

Thanks,
- Erling
