C Changes
Record and manage information about open source software projects. This schema should help to track the relevant information required to choose between different available libraries, tools, editors etc.
The XML namespace for this vocabulary is http://purl.org/net/xamde/ns/os#
and the recommended prefix is os. i.e. in RDF/XML documents the following
attribute should be included in the rdf:RDF element :
xmlns:os="http://purl.org/net/xamde/ns/os#"
Instances written using the RDF (Open Source) Software Vocabulary are likely to use terms from these namespaces as well:
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
xmlns:foaf="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/"
A softwaree package, tool, editor, library or other artifact that can be used.
Name or title of the software. Subproperty of dc:title.
One or more authors of the software. Subproperty of dc:creator.
Topic from the trove software map. Probably another schema is needed for the map itself. Subproperty of dc:subject.
Description of the software package. Typically the first one or two sentences from the projects homepage. Subproperty of dc:description.
Date of the first public release. Subproperty of dc:issued.
Date of the latest public release.
Software license as name or url. Maybe a guide for the definitive urls of OSS licences is needed.
The language(s) this software is written in.
Alternative software packages that could be used instead of this one
