Re-introduce RDF interface to tracker.debian.org
Hi,
I am currently investigating how to get structured, linked open data,
about Linu distributions. I already knew that Debian's PTS had an RDF
interface [1], which still was working not so very long ago, but with
the removal of the packages.qa.debian.org PTS, it seems gone and
distro-tracker does not seem to offer a replacement.
As I am still looking for something to do at MiniDebCamp in Hamburg,
apart from cleaning up the mess my maintained packages are ;), I
wondered whether a contribution re-introducing RDF data to
tracker.debian.org would be welcomed?
For another project, I am already in the course of creating a
lightweight mapper from Django models to RDF triples, which then should
be fairly easy to integrate and low-maintenance.
Having Debian package information as authoritative, structured data, and
that in the lingua franca of structured data, RDF, would allow
integrating Debian package information with other RDF data collections,
like Wikidata or with the DOAP information some upstream projects use [2].
Cheers,
Nik
