Bob and all, The Semantic Framework for Patterns (SFP) is a community-based repository that catalogs details (e.g. authors, pattern categories, pattern form used, year) and references to several software pattern collections. The repository currently accounts for over 2600 patterns scattered across over 200 collections.
One of the goals of SFP is to host a registry of software pattern collections that contemplates multiple domains, so that practitioners can use SFP as a means to find collections to be used on each software lifecycle phase. Currently we are in the process of migrating SFP to a new server and the repository is not accessible. As soon as it becomes available again and I will post the updated URL here. Chris, I would definitely be interested in reading your paper. While collecting data for SFP, the only patterns I found that were written in PLML were Martijn van Welie's (welie.com). Michael, I like the idea of having an API for software pattern repositories. In fact, all the data collected through SFP is conceptually organized in an ontology and stored in a RDF (XML-like) file, which is one of the building blocks of the Semantic Web. In other words, the registry of software pattern collections is queriable using Semantic Web. Maybe this could be a starting point for integrating different pattern repositories.
