Upstream Metadata
Introduction
I am starting an experimental effort to collect meta-information about upstream in a file called debian/upstream-metadata.yaml in the source packages maintained by the DebianMed project. Since these source packages are stored in a subversion repository on Alioth, the information can be updated without uploading the source packages to the Debian archive.
A draft collector system is being implemented on upstream-metadata.debian.net. The plan is to use it to prepare tables that can be fed to the UltimateDebianDatabase.
The first proof of principle that I would like to establish is to make the DebianMed web sentinels (‘http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks’) use the UDD, fed from the debian/upstream-metadata.yaml via upstream-metadata.debian.net, to display bibliographic information about which academic article to cite when using our packages. This is currently done by collecting the information in the central file used to create the med-* metapackages.
Fields
In alphabetic order.' Same as the DOI, but with the ID number in the PubMed database. The following fields are used to document the academic publication describing the packaged work, and are usually pasted from ?BibTex references. There is a big issue to solve: Screenshots: URL to an upstream page containing screenshots (not screenshots.debian.org. Currently it contains the main line of debian/watch. It is therefore assumed to be in format version 3. For surveying multiple locations, it could contain a YAML sequence.
Let's discuss here, on a mailing list (debian-med or debian-qa), or a discussion page, if available.
what if the Debian package contains more than one work, published in different articles.? Also, some fields that can be used independantly, the DOI and the PubMed ID, have a shorter name that does not start by Reference-. Discussion
