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.
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jon Ison <[email protected]> Date: 2017-11-17 12:18 GMT+02:00 Subject: [registry-core] heads-up! : bio.tools API / serialisation format changing To: "Registry mailing list ([email protected])" <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]>, " [email protected]" <[email protected]> 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. *Jon Ison* Senior Researcher High Performance Computing DTU Bioinformatics *Technical University of Denmark* Department of Bio and Health Informatics Kemitorvet Building 208, Room 013 2800 Kgs.
