As bio.tools now has both full length URIs https://bio.tools/signalp and
compact URIs (CURIES) bio.tools/signalp via https://identifiers.org/
biotools/signalp I think the https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamMetadata
Registry should stick to URIs.

Subject: [registry-core] heads-up! : bio.tools API / serialisation format
changing

Dear folks



A revision to biotoolsSchema (https://github.com/bio-tools/biotoolsschema)
- the software description model used by bio.tools (https://bio.tools ) -
is underway.  It captures requirements gathered over the last year.
biotoolsSchema 3.0.0 will include changes to the API and data serialisation
formats which are potentially breaking to software dependencies.  This is
just a heads-up that if you think you’ll be affected, then please write to
me directly.  I’ll then arrange a group skype where I can walk everyone
through the changes.  We’re aiming to release the changes by the end of
this month.



I apologise in advance for any inconvenience this will cause, but I hope
you’ll appreciate the need for improvements, and how we minimise the pain
by restricting such breaking changes to once per year.



Take care all



Jon





Highlights of planned changes include:

   - Constraints on which tool attributes must be specified are adjusted to
   match the emerging tool information standard (
   https://github.com/bio-tools/biotoolsSchemaDocs/blob/master/information_
   requirement.rst
   
<https://github.com/bio-tools/biotoolsSchemaDocs/blob/master/information_requirement.rst>),
   which specifies what attributes must be specified to achieve a certain
   level of bio.tools entry completeness from “SPARSE” to “COMPREHENSIVE”.
   - Better support for version information.  Version information can still
   be attached to the main entry as before, but also at the levels of specific
   downloads of the tool, publications and identifiers.
   - Support for bio.tools CURIES (compact URIs) - basically the tool
   identifier with a prefix e.g. “biotools:signalp” trivially resolvable to
   https://bio.tools/signalp.
   - Support for various type of identifier (e.g. RRIDs), other than just
   the bio.tools tool ID, in case these are available / needed.  See also
   bio.tools via Identifiers.org, e.g. https://identifiers.org/
   biotools/signalp.
   - Consolidation of credit & contact model, making this more convenient,
   and in preparation for bio.tools “Contributor Cards” coming next year.
