About
This is a place to link DOAP Descriptions similar to
FOAFBulletinBoard
but
specifically and only for applications and demos that themselves concern the Semantic Web
. If it's not directly Semantic Web related, use
DOAPBulletinBoard
The idea is to provide material for
Semantic Web Best Practices Task Force On Applications And Demos
- see in particular the
criteria for inclusion in the list maintained by the taskforce
, namely:
Only applications and demos with their own
DOAP
descriptions will be included. The DOAP description should normally be created by the author of the application or demo. The DOAP descriptions must be specific to a particular application or demo, which must exist and be made available via the doap:homepage location
Only freely downloadable applications and demos will be included unless they are products of a W3C member (free as in beer, although we are also particularly in interested Open Source software which developers can take and use).
For the time being only RDF, RDFS and OWL applications will be included.
Note that
the taskforce
makes the final decision about whether these criteria are met and about what to include in the
list
We're interested in particular in
visually appealing and immediately viewable apps and demos
that we can use to demostrate the utility of the Semantic Web, but feel free also to add applications below that are useful to developers such as libraries and APIs.

Resources for creating DOAP files
DOAP
is a vocabulary for describing projects - 'Description Of A Project'). Here's
an example
doap-a-matic
forms-based DOAP creation tool
examples to copy:
this one
or
redland's doap
Chris Schmidt also has a
doap-a-matic
You might like the
Doaper firefox extension
a nice little app which shows if there is a DOAP file linked from the page currently being viewed.

How to add your DOAP file to this page
Please read carefully when editing the page: try not to delete any application or demo!
Just click the link to edit the text of this page, then add the name of your project, and a link to the associated DOAP file in the bulleted list below. The format is very straight-forward.
Don't forget to link your DOAP file from your project's homepage, like this:



Scraping this page
The applications and demos taskforce has an
experimental DOAP faccetted browser
You are welcome to reuse this data to create your own browseable directory of semantic web applications.
Borrowing
Leigh Dodd's technique
(thanks Leigh!) you can scrape this page to create an RDF scutter file, which is basically an RDF file containing rdfs:seeAlso to each rdf file. Here's how:
Use
tidy
to get xhtml from this page,
e.g. via the online W3C service
(I've used 'force xml')
Use
this xslt
to create the scutterplan (to test you can use the
W3C service
voila!
List of DOAP files
The links below should be directly to the location of the RDF files, so that tools can glean the information out (possibly via some GRDDL or some such.) Anyone is welcome (and encouraged) to take the list below or the DOAP links from the
list the taskforce maintains
and create their own view on the data.
