[oslc] Fwd: Today the public review period for ADMS.F/OSS v0.3 began

[Olivier Berger]

Hi.

Sorry in advance for the duplicate.

You may be interested in knowing that a draft of a vocabulary intended
to be used for describing software has been published, for review by the
public.

I'm not sure how much it overlaps with OSLC for the moment, but there
are links (DC, FOAF, etc.).

Maybe this is more important for Assets Management people, but I may be
wrong. Also, there's nothing really specific in there with Free / Open
Source software : any software asset catalogued with RDF in a server
could be represented with ADMS.F/OSS in principle.

Best regards,


-----------------------------------

Dear all,

On May 2 2012, the public review period for the ADMS.F/OSS v0.3 [1] 
metadata vocabulary has started. 

ADMS.F/OSS is a metadata vocabulary to describe free and open-source 
software (F/OSS) assets, making it possible to more easily explore, find, 
and link software assets on the Web by interlinking software forges.  The 
work has been initiated by the Interoperability Solutions for European 
Public Administrations (ISA) [2] Programme of the European Commission and 
was carried out from January till April 2012 by a multi disciplinary 
Working Group  [3] of 45 people from 14 different countries. ADMS.F/OSS 
aims at maximally reusing existing specifications, such as DOAP [4], ADMS 
[5], and the Trove software map [6]. 
The process and methodology followed in the development of ADMS.F/OSS is 
set out in detail in the document ?Process and Methodology for Developing 
Core Vocabularies?. Further background is available in the studies "Vision 
for an enhanced software description metadata schema and software 
catalogue for e-Government? and ?Report on existing Software Forges? which 
offers an overview and context for the work. 
ADMS.F/OSS v0.3 is open for public comments until June 2 2012. During this 
period, members of the public are invited to download the specification 
and share their public review by posting comments to the forum. 
How can you help?
We kindly invite you to contribute to this specification by submitting 
your comments on the ADMS.F/OSS Specification v0.3:
1. Download the ADMS.F/OSS v0.3 [1] specification; and
2. Comment* the ADMS.F/OSS v0.3 Specification by using the ADMS.F/OSS 
public review forum topic  [8] (registration on Joinup [9] required).

What happens with your feedback?
All comments and feedback received will be registered as issues and 
discussed with the Working Group in June. Resolutions of those issues will 
be shared on Joinup, and will lead to a final version of the specification 
that will be submitted for endorsement by the EU Member States.
