Hi all, I would like to bring to your attention that the AMDS.SW Working Group has released 9 software taxonomies under an open licence with multilingual labels in 7 languages. These taxonomies [3] include: Licence Type, Intended Audience, Natural Language, Operating System, Programming Language,Status, Topic, User Interface / Graphical Environment, and Publisher Type.
I think especially the Licence Type taxonomy could be of particular interest to the SPDX community. The taxonomies can be viewed on this web page: https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/svn/adms_foss/amds_sw_taxonomies/ADMS_SW_v1.00_Taxonomies.html and can be downloaded here: https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/asset/adms_foss/release/release100 The taxonomies are represented in a machine readable format: the SKOS standard of W3C. The majority of these taxonomies were originally made available in March 2012 by SourceForge under CC BY 3.0 [2]. We hope that the use of common taxonomies to categorise software will contribute to making software better searchable on the Web. with kind regards, Stijn [1] https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/svn/adms_foss/amds_sw_taxonomies/ADMS_SW_v1.00_Taxonomies.html [2] http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Software%20Map%20and%20Trove [3] https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/asset/adms_foss/release/release100 [4] https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/asset/adms_foss/description *Professional Mail* *Professional Mail* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This e-mail is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.
