Hi Kate, One basic thing I’m missing is an official validator for the tag / value (TV for short) format, supporting different versions of the spec. I know there are tools [1] to convert TV to RDF which can be misused to “validate” TV, but any errors then refer to the converted RDF instead of the original TV. Also, these projects are somewhat heavyweight if all you want is to validate TV. It would be nice to expose such a validator via a simple web frontend, similar to how Travis CI does it for its “.travis.yml” files [2].
Another more sophisticated tool that would be useful is a graphical TV editor. Something that limits the “degrees of freedom” of plain text to only valid choices, offers drop-downs for known licenses and DocumentRefs, etc. Such a tool would be very useful e.g. for legal councils to add their conclusions / comments to existing TV files without the risk to break the syntax. We’re currently thinking about implementing the TV validator. Anyone interested in joining such an effort is welcome to contact me.
