NAME
Module::Install::DOAPChangeSets::Format - vocabulary guide 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. SEE ALSO
