I recently stumbeled over DOAP thanks to Ross Burtons blog.

DOAP sounds interesting to me, in contrary to Sourceforge Trove categorization this should be easier to collect by third parties, and it’s easier to extend.

But when looking at it WRT debtags, i’m not sure how to add these to DOAP. The category field appears to only use a rdf resource reference (according to the RelaxNG schema in one of Edd Dumbill’s DeveloperWorks reports)

I think it is overload, to add a category entry for each tag we have. We could probably use synthetic URLs like tag1/tag2/tag3/tag4/tag5 to fit multiple tags into one category field.

But i would consider it cleaner if i could just give the debtags base URI as resource, and use either additional xml tags inside or a whitespace delimited list for giving the actual tags.
