=== Turtle RDF meta-data for the PTS ===

The [[http://packages.qa.debian.org/|PTS]] now [[http://packages.qa.debian.org/common/RDF.html|produces RDF meta-data]] in the [[http://www.w3.org/TR/turtle/|Turtle format]], which is both machine-readable and human-readable (at least much more than the RDF/XML format previously used). These meta-data could provide authoritative reference Semantic Web resources for all Debian source packages, to build Linked Data applications, for instance in relation to upstream projects or other distros publishing their own RDF meta-data (using DOAP or ADMS.SW). The full RDF dump currently contains more than 2.1 million triples. More details in [[http://www-public.telecom-sudparis.eu/~berger_o/weblog/2013/02/01/the-debian-package-tracking-system-now-publishes-turtle-rdf-meta-data/|obergix's blog post]].

DEP 12 started

The Debian Enhancement Proposal number 12 (DEP 12), for per-package machine-readable metadata about Upstream, was started. It will specify the syntax of the debian/upstream file in source packages. Discussion takes place on the debian-qa mailing list.

Turtle RDF meta-data for the PTS

The PTS now produces RDF meta-data in the Turtle format, which is both machine-readable and human-readable (at least much more than the RDF/XML format previously used). These meta-data could provide authoritative reference Semantic Web resources for all Debian source packages, to build Linked Data applications, for instance in relation to upstream projects or other distros publishing their own RDF meta-data (using DOAP or ADMS.SW). The full RDF dump currently contains more than 2.1 million triples. More details in obergix's blog post.
