Hi, A few days ago, I created a RDF export (DOAP, to be precise) of the Debtags data. The export is rather minimal, and still needs some improvement (e.g. adding some kind of linking to the actual package information. So the format will definitely change (but will still be RDF :-)) It would be interesting to have a RDF representation of Debian package information as well (i.e. dependencies, descriptions, ...) that could somehow be merged with this information. Enrico, IIRC you sent me a link about an EU-funded research project analyzing Debian package information? Can you send me that link again? Did they use RDF?
Facets are not yet represented in this dump. I'll probably add another RDF dump with vocabulary information, which will include facets. Facets are not a property of the packages, but of the tags, and the dump is currently package-centric. http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/rdf/rdf.gz (data will be cached for up to 10 minutes; please avoid aggressively loading this file. Generation is rather slow and data doesn't change that much...) If you are using RDF, I'd really appreciate suggestions on how to improve the RDF dump, and also on what cool things could be done with this information. On the long run, it would be cool to have a X-DOAP field in the package descriptions (probably on a source level), and somewhat link that with Debtags and Debian information. best regards, Erich Schubert -- erich@(mucl.de|debian.org) -- GPG Key ID: 4B3A135C (o_ To understand recursion you first need to understand recursion. //\ Wo befreundete Wege zusammenlaufen, da sieht die ganze Welt für V_/_ eine Stunde wie eine Heimat aus. --- Herrmann Hesse _______________________________________________ Debtags-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debtags-devel
