Hi Udis and DOAPers

Aspiration ( www.aspirationtech.org) is working on a tool that does some of what you ask about. We've built a Flickr-like front end for tagging DOAP records, and coupled that with social networking features that let users browse "who's using what" and "who else is using what I'm using". We've also added some basic social recommendation/collaborative filtering features as well. We don't have a "favorite" flag, but that is certainly an enhancement we could consider, especially if it was part of DOAP :^)

The Social Source Commons platform is targeted at nonprofit techies to support mapping and enumerating their tools universe, but the underlying code is entirely general for any application space. The app is written in Rails, and we'll be releasing it under GPL.

We're still in a limited beta phase and working out some kinks, but anyone who wants to check it out should email me and I can send you complete Beta Program details.

thanks & peace,
gunner

Hi All!

Is there a property in DOAP or other vocabulary that can be used to express that somebody is using an application or that this is his/her favorite application?

DOAP uses that I have seen are mostly to express the information about applications (either for sites / application catalogues or for DOAP feeds), but it is as important to cover the social aspect of use of applications. Not sure if DOAP is suited for that but it's worth a try.

Also: how does one express in DOAP that a particular application is a plugin/extension to another (e.g., "SIOC Detector" is an extension to "Mozilla Firefox")? It might be interesting to merge together information from a DOAP profile and extension's RDF manifest as well.

Comments?

Uldis :)
