Re: DOAP format question

[Hervé BOUTEMY]

I started generating /doap/{tlp-id}/pmc.rdf
Please tell me what to add in these files

I don't understand what to write into /doap/foundation/tlps.rdf

And for /doap/{tlp-id}/{project-id}.rdf, the content can't be generated: there 
is a lot of handwritten content we can't guess automatically
What we can do is copying projects hadcrafted content to the structured 
location: but even extracting the {project-id} is not easy

any idea?

Exactly. I think a conclusion we could arrive with the years using DOAP
files in ASF is simple: handcrafted files are

So I think the goal for projects-new.apache.org would be to automatically
generate the DOAP files, including: TLPs (PMCs), projects and releases. We
have that data somewhere (LDAP?), I'm pretty sure, we just need to get it
and process it.

OK, bootstrap it, and then I'll jump it to do the proper RDF coding there.

I'll propose to publish at least:

  1) /doap/foundation/tlps.rdf
  2) /doap/{tlp-id}/pmc.rdf
  3) /doap/{tlp-id}/{project-id}.rdf

1 will provide the basic information, linking to 2 containing the pmc
information, as we already do in json. Then 3 would also link to 2, where
in most of the cases {tlp-id} and {project-id} will be the same, but we do
support subprojects (e.g., lucene) and components (e.g., commons).

One we have that infrastructure in place, we can tell all TLPs to directly
link to those files, avoiding the manual duplication of that data.

I think with that we are coming closer to a satisfactory solution ;-)

while working on it, I think I found one root cause: we're not clear about 
TLPs (with PMCs) vs software (often called "projects" too, but that have 
releases)

it seems 
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/infrastructure/site-tools/trunk/projects/data_files
 is about TLPs/PMCs
and "classical" DOAP files written by people are about softwares that are done 
by TLPs/PMCs

We have a TLPs/PMCs authoritative source of information: that is committee-
info.txt
I used it as main source of data for
https://projects-new.apache.org/json/foundation/tlps.json
The only informations in tlps.json that do not come from committee-info.txt 
are:
- committers list (committee-info.txt only lists PMC members, LDAP gives 
committers)
- description of the TLPs: I'm still looking which could be the authoritative 
information source

for more details, the parsing code is here:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/comdev/projects.apache.org/scripts/import/parsecommittees.py?view=markup

I think we could generate an authoritative DOAP url for TLPs from committee-
info.txt
then give instructions to projects to update their software DOAP files to point 
to these reference TLPs DOAP files

this would:
- fix issues regarding standard DOAP/RDF semantics
- be easy to explain

I can generate tonight http://projects-new.apache.org/doap/tlp/ as a POC for 
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/infrastructure/site-tools/trunk/projects/data_files
 replacement

notice: from TLP and PMC, I prefer to talk about TLP, since the TLP has a PMC 
+ a homepage, committers, and other attributes

WDYT?

Agreed, but I suspect think that may not be the only assumption made
by the XSL scripts.
IMO it would be best to establish all the changes that need to be made
in one hit rather than to have to keep asking PMCs to fix another
aspect of their DOAPs.

I don't think that would be a good idea.
If the DOAP file is part of the source release, how can it have the
correct release date for the release it is part of?
Also, source trees are duplicated in tags and branches; it's confusing
to have multiple copies of a DOAP.

The point is that DOAPs are meta data about a project and its releases.
They are not data that is useful to the project code.

Then such " assumption" is a custom patch, it' d need to be know by any
other tool. Therefore no external tool is able to process such data.

There is some special-case XSL code which does this conversion.
If the rdf:resource URL does not end in ".rdf", then the the http://
and .apache.org/ header and trailer are stripped off, leaving
"commons"
This is then assumed to be the name of an RDF file in data_files/

I've no idea why the actual URL was not required - perhaps it was
thought that the data_files directory location might not be stable.
This was in the code before I got involved.

Changing it now would be very time-consuming and tedious.
However, if this were to be done, I suggest dropping the data_files
directory entirely and insisting that PMCs host their own PMC data
files.
This would mean adding a new script to create a basic PMC file.

These need to be under the control of the project, and it makes sense
to keep them under source control (SC).

under the website URL - which is much less prone to change, and

Website source is nowadays stored in SC anyway.

Another aspect is that DOAP files are not useful in source/binary releases.

As a said, that was a quick approximation of the problem. So the next step
should be a implement such validator, ok, I'll do it in the following days.

I do understand how DOAP is being used, and I guess it has been wrong from
the very beginning.

Taking commons-lang as example, they currently have:

  http://commons.apache.org/lang/";>
http://commons.apache.org/"/>
  

which does not really link (in RDF) to the file
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/infrastructure/site-tools/trunk/projects/data_files/commons.rdf

RDF is a directly-label graph data model that uses URIs as names. Therefore
the URI you put as as value of a property has a meaning, you should be able
to directly fetch it, but not having such implicit rules where files a
located in a svn. I guess apply that would mean a major restructuration of
the current DOAP data, but that's something I can help to do to all PMCs.

Beside that issue on linking, I have come to the conclusions that asfext
actually have the sense of two things:

* asfext:pmc is the property that links a project with its PMC
* asfext:PMC should be a class for referring to PMCs

And that completely valid, but the tooling should know the difference and
not just try to fix wrong data.

Let me try to find some time to put some of these things in order to have a
better overview...

Also, only the first error is reported.
Ideally the validation needs to find all the errors in one pass.

It would be OK if the code gave up for serious syntax errors such as
mismatched tags, but where there are multiple other errors these
should be reported without needing to fix them one by one.

I've tried the code, and it does find some syntax errors.

[The code needs to be tweaked so it catches & reports syntax errors
rather than failing]

However, it does not seem to detect asfext:PMC as an error - it seems
to be case-blind.

I cannot work out whether the library supports exact case checking,
and if so, how to enable this.

Nor does it appear to detect invalid tags (perhaps that's why case
checking does not work).

This is the default location for the PMC data [1] files which provide
data about the PMC.
A single such file may be referenced by multiple DOAPs.
E.g. all the Commons components refer to the same PMC data file.

The contents and locations of the various files are documented on the site.

OK, then I stay in this thread for discussion about this.

I didn't have much time today, but what I already did was implementing the
basics of how the DOAP processing could look like. For the moment is at
https://github.com/wikier/asf-doap until I'll get something more
functional, then I'll commit it to the asf repo.

Basically what if currently does that simple code is to get all DOAP/PMC
files and report some basics (size). You can run it by yourself executing:

$ python doap.py

What I can already say is that I do not understand what
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/infrastructure/site-tools/trunk/projects/data_files
aim to represent. Because asfext:pmc is defined as a property in the
namespace (as we discussed couple of days ago), so I missed the subject
where it refers to (normally it should be used  asfext:pmc
<...>). According that usage of the term, I guess they actually wanted to
define a class.

But please, let me evolve a bit more the code for giving you some basic
tools, and then I can discuss further such aspects.

Cheers.

It's not a regular project.
I don't know who "owns" the code - possibly Infra or maybe ComDev.

I have just been making the occasional fix as I notice problems.

The site-dev and dev@community mailing list are probably the place to
discuss changes.

OK, in the next day I'll provide a basic implementation (Python+RDFLib)
that provides some kind of validation and reporting of pitfails. So later
we can extend that add proper DOAP support to the projects-new.a.o.

One question, sebb, how the site development is organize? Do you use jira
or something as any other project does? Just to do the things properly
according your guidelines.

It's possible to add warning checks to the cron job scripts, but this
will create a lot of noisy e-mails until projects have been notified
and fixed their files.
Experience shows that fixing DOAPs can take months for some PMCs.

One approach that might be worth trying is creating an additional
on-demand report that checks the list of RDFs for known issues.
Initially it could just check for asfext:PMC, but could be extended as
other issues are found or better syntax checking is available.

Checking for such simple typos could be done with almost any scripting language.

The RDF files are listed in

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/infrastructure/site-tools/trunk/projects/files.xml
(DOAPs)
and
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/infrastructure/site-tools/trunk/projects/pmc_list.xml
(PMC definitions)

Most of the PMC definitions are stored locally, and have already been fixed.

I tried W3C checker, but as it is only a syntax checker, it checked only 
syntax, not references to the namespace and I couldn't find any other useful

If you read back in this thread you will see that I did this in order
to support both asfext:PMC and asfext:pmc.

> But that does not mean is right.

The code is right in the sense that it works with the input files that
are provided.

My point was that the formal definition does not affect how the XSL files work.
All that matters is that the XSL file agrees with what is in the input files.
They could use asfext:XyZ provided that the XSL files were coded to expect that.

Nor does the formal definition affect validation of the input RDF
files otherwise there would not be conflicting references in the RDF
files, and we would not be having this discussion.

I think there needs to be a way for PMCs to check their RDF files
against the formal definitions.
For example, a CGI script that accepts the URL of a file.

No, the formal definition is clear at the ns file:
http://projects.apache.org/ns/asfext#pmc

Ok, let's try to put it eas. This is the definition from the namespace (rdf
vocabulary):

http://projects.apache.org/ns/asfext#pmc";>
  http://projects.apache.org/ns/asfext#"; />
  PMC
  ASF Project Management
Committee

  http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label"; />
  http://usefulinc.com/ns/doap#"; />


That means:

* the exactURI  (or abbreviated
as asfext:pmc if the prefix declaration is available) defines the property
name, exactly "pmc", other syntactic version would not match the formal
definition.
* the label is just the human-readable label of the property, can't be use
as property
* comment is the same, just a comment to be read
* subproperty means that the value of the property has a specialized
meaning over the general purpose label
* domain is the type of objects that can use that property, in this case
doap:Project instances
*  range defines the values in ca take, int his case a literal, a basic
type, such as string or int

And that's more of less the semantics behind such definition of the
property. Hope it helps to understand.

Theoretically, but not in this case.

The processing is defined by XSL files that were manually created.
So whatever the files are coded to expect is what will work.

This may or may not be the same as the definition.

In fact at present the XSL files have been coded to accept both
asfext:PMC and asfext:pmc.
Only one of these can be correct in terms of the formal definition.

The problem is that it is not clear what the formal definition is.

It would help to know what the formal definition of the asfext
namespace actually means.

Also if it is possible to validate that the various RDF files are
correct according to the formal definitions.
PMCs could then submit their files for checking.

Re: DOAP format question

[Sergio Fernández]

RDF can be serialized as XML, but the XML tool chain is not well suitable
to process RDF. That's what a meant when I early commented I was happy to
contribute proper DOAP/RDF infrastructure to projects-new.a.o.

Back to the current issues... see my comments inline.

The term must be used exactly in the same way it is defined by the
namespace/vocabulary/ontology, otherwise won't be processed as expected.

That's the best practice, yes: classes in UpperCamelCases, and properties
in lowerCamelCase.

The root element  is a special case, not a regular term, but part
of the RDF/XML serialization.

Hope that helps.

Perhaps; I don't know either.
It's a bit odd that the original code used PMC rather than pmc.

Also PMC is an abbreviation. RDF is also an abbreviation, and note
that the XML tag is , not .

It looks like namespaces (i.e. rdf, asfext) are lower-case, but
classes/properties (?) may be upper (rdf:RDF), lower (foaf:name) or
mixed case (foaf:Person).

Re: DOAP format question

I'm not a RDF expert: if someone with more knowledge on this can join, it 
would be really useful

But apart from seeing that most of the documentation was talking about pmc 
instead of PMC [1] (I just had to fix 1 place), I was convinced that the 
correct case is lowercase when reading asfext definition [2]
once again, I'm not an expert then could misinterpret the content, but I read 
http://projects.apache.org/ns/asfext#pmc";> as a 
definition of pmc field, in lowercase


since I was working on projects-new.a.o, I completely forgot to try to 
generate the current projects.a.o to check that the change didn't break 
anything: sorry, I'll try it tonight

one question: where is the cron log of the effective run?

Regards,

Hervé

Re: DOAP format question

[sebb]

There are 7 projects currently that maintain their own PMC RDF files.
Alll of these use asfext:PMC (not pmc).

However it looks like all of the project DOAP files use asfext:pmc
rather than PMC.

So the path of least resistance is clearly to use lower-case.

Re: DOAP format question

[sebb]

XPath nodes are case-sensitive;  is not the same as .

The change from PMC to pmc has broken some of the reports - the PMC
name is missing from most of the entries listed in
http://projects.apache.org/indexes/pmc.html.

I don't know which case is correct, but there are currently RDF files
in project repos which use PMC rather than pmc.
These files are not easy to fix, as each project has to be asked to do them.

I can probably fix the scripts to check for both, but that is quite messy.

It would be better to use the "correct" case setting throughout
(whatever that is).
It looks like the original xsl file only used PMC, however a fairly
early revision started using pmc and continued using PMC.
Perhaps there was always an issue with some of the reports?

Until the correct setting is established, there's no point asking
projects to fix their RDF files.

I don't know if there is a formal description of the syntax anywhere.

ok, it seems I can update the source, then I did it

I suppose this will be published in the next site content generation...

DOAP format question

[Hervé BOUTEMY]

Hi,

I'm working on http://projects-new.apache.org/ , which makes me dig into ASF 
DOAP conventions

And I found something that I think is a bug: on 
http://projects.apache.org/docs/pmc.html , half of the page explains about 
asfext:PMC in uppercase, while the other half is about asfext:pmc in lowercase

AFAIK, everybody is using asfext:pmc, in lowercase

Can you confirm that it is in lowercase? Then fix the page, that is causing a 
little bit of confusion?

Thanks in advance,

Hervé
