I understand that you want to distinguish the _path_ via which the agent
(me) is a schema:contributor, i.e. the account I use.
The issue I have with that is that in doing so you seem to express that
not me but my Debian account is the contributor.
It seems logically wrong to me to treat accounts as agents. Even if I
do understand what you try to achieve by doing so.
Something like this seems logical to me (i.e. wrapping in holdsAccount):
<http://packages.qa.debian.org/cdbs#project>
doap:name "Debian cdbs packaging" ;
doap:description "Maintenance of the cdbs source package in Debian" ;
doap:homepage <http://packages.debian.org/src:cdbs> ;
doap:homepage <http://packages.qa.debian.org/cdbs> ;
schema:contributor [
a foaf:Agent ;
holdsAccount [
foaf:accountName "Jonas Smedegaard" ;
foaf:accountServiceHomepage <http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=dr@jones.dk>
] ;
] ;
a admssw:SoftwareProject .
That expression only says that the person contributing to the project
has such account, not that it was through that account the contribution
was made - but I believe that is a shortcoming of the schema (and that
it is plain wrong to break logic to achieve it).
NB! Beware I am no expert on this: be sceptical, please!
