DOAP CHANGESETS FORMAT
DOAP Changesets are written in RDF - normally serialised as Turtle, though other serialisations are fine. (The
Module::Install::DOAPChangeSets module supports any input format recognised by RDF::Trine.)
This document assumes a good working knowledge of RDF and Turtle.
You would normally describe your project in a file called "meta/changes.ttl" from which a changelog called "Changes" will be automatically
built at packaging time.
Namespaces
You will want to define at least the following namespaces:
@prefix : <http://usefulinc.com/ns/doap#> .
@prefix dc: <http://purl.org/dc/terms/> .
@prefix dcs: <http://ontologi.es/doap-changeset#> .
@prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> .
@prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> .
@prefix xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#> .
And you should define a namespace specific for your distribution:
@prefix my: <http://purl.org/NET/cpan-uri/dist/Example-Example/> .
Describing the Changeset Document
You should now give the Changeset document itself a description. At a minimum, you must set the dc:subject.
<>
dc:title "Changes for Example-Example" ;
dc:subject my:project ;
dc:creator my:developer .
Describing the First Release of the Distribution
Use DOAP to describe the first version of the distribution. At the very least you need to include its revision (version number):
my:v_0-01
a :Version ;
dc:issued "2007-12-20"^^xsd:date ;
:revision "0.01"^^xsd:string .
You would not normally list any changes against the first release, as nothing has been changed.
Describing Subsequent Releases
For subsequent releases, you add a changeset to a release description:
my:v_0-02
a :Version ;
dc:issued "2007-12-29"^^xsd:date ;
:revision "0.02"^^xsd:string ;
rdfs:label "The 0.02nd Coming" ; ## a "title" for the release
dcs:changeset [
dcs:item
[ rdfs:label "Example change." ] ,
[ rdfs:label "Example bugfix." ; a dcs:Bugfix ] ,
[ rdfs:label "Example new feature." ; a dcs:Addition ] ,
[ rdfs:label "Example removal." ; a dcs:Removal ]
] .
Describing the Distribution
Use DOAP to describe the distribution. At the very least you need to assert that the project is a Project and provide a name for it. You
must also list all the releases you wish to appear in the human-readable Changes file generated by the Module::Install::DOAPChangeSets
module. There are plenty of other properties in DOAP which you can also use.
my:project
a :Project ;
:name "Example-Example" ;
:shortdesc "Just an example!" ;
:programming-language "Perl" ;
:created "2007-12-18"^^xsd:date ;
:maintainer my:developer ;
:homepage <http://search.cpan.example.org/dist/Example-Example/> ;
:bug-database <http://rt.cpan.example.org/Dist/Display.html?Queue=Example-Example> ;
:release my:v_0-01 , my:v_0-02 .
Describing a Developer
Developers should be described using FOAF. At the very least, include a name. A CPAN e-mail address is also a good idea.
my:developer
a foaf:Person ;
foaf:name "Joe Bloggs" ;
foaf:mbox <mailto:joebloggs@cpan.example.org> ;
foaf:page <http://search.cpan.example.org/~joebloggs/> .
Legacy Support
The module has legacy support for Aaron Cope's "changefile" vocab, but this is not thoroughly tested. Changelogs written in this vocab tend
to use DOAP incorrectly, so I discourage using this vocab.
