Hi Yaroslav,
I think that it is a good addition.
Do you or others know some ontologies that have a similar field ? If yes, it
would be good to document it as following the same usage or semantics as that
ontology.
By the way, if you have general comments about DEP 12, please do not hesitate
to make them on debian-qa@l.d.o. In particular, I am seeking for comments or
peer-review about the current list of fields.
Once we have a good consensus on which fields are unlikely to change in the
future because we have used them for some time and are satisfied of their
current meaning and syntax, I will document them in a proper DEP 12 document,
and I think that will be enough for that DEP. Further extensions of the list
of fields, or considerations on the flow of data, can be the subject of other
DEPs.
Have a nice day,
