It's probably something to be done together with generating the pages for packages.debian.org: you can talk with djpig or jvw proposing an example RDF output. > Facets are not yet represented in this dump.

I had a chat with a researcher called Attilio Fiandro about exporting tags as RDF in a little conference some time ago, and we thought of two ways: one is exporting just the tag (qualified with the facet name to avoid confusion): pkg1 has facet::tag1 pkg1 has facet::tag2 [...] The other is using facets as verbs: pkg1 has-interface commandline pkg1 has-role program I must say that using facets as verbs is very attractive to me. You blogged about how to represent the vocabulary in RDF. I'd like to do that too, especially now that we have a basic tool to infer tag relationships, it looks like we have all the bits and pieces to autogenerate an ontology file that one could load into tools like Protégé. I have not investigated, however, how these formats (OWL?) work, nor if all these tools can really do something useful for us that we are not doing already.
