DOAP CHANGESETS FORMAT

9       DOAP Changesets are written in RDF - normally serialised as Turtle,
10       though other serialisations are fine. (The
11       Module::Install::DOAPChangeSets module supports any input format
12       recognised by RDF::Trine.)
13
14       This document assumes a good working knowledge of RDF and Turtle.
15
16       You would normally describe your project in a file called
17       "meta/changes.ttl" from which a changelog called "Changes" will be
18       automatically built at packaging time.
19
20   Namespaces
21       You will want to define at least the following namespaces:
22
23         @prefix :     <http://usefulinc.com/ns/doap#> .
24         @prefix dc:   <http://purl.org/dc/terms/> .
25         @prefix dcs:  <http://ontologi.es/doap-changeset#> .
26         @prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> .
27         @prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> .
28         @prefix xsd:  <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#> .
29
30       And you should define a namespace specific for your distribution:
31
32         @prefix my:   <http://purl.org/NET/cpan-uri/dist/Example-Example/> .
33
34   Describing the Changeset Document
35       You should now give the Changeset document itself a description. At a
36       minimum, you must set the dc:subject.
37
38         <>
39           dc:title     "Changes for Example-Example" ;
40           dc:subject   my:project ;
41           dc:creator   my:developer .
42
43   Describing the First Release of the Distribution
44       Use DOAP to describe the first version of the distribution. At the very
45       least you need to include its revision (version number):
46
47         my:v_0-01
48           a           :Version ;
49           dc:issued   "2007-12-20"^^xsd:date ;
50           :revision   "0.01"^^xsd:string .
51
52       You would not normally list any changes against the first release, as
53       nothing has been changed.
54
55   Describing Subsequent Releases
56       For subsequent releases, you add a changeset to a release description:
57
58         my:v_0-02
59           a           :Version ;
60           dc:issued   "2007-12-29"^^xsd:date ;
61           :revision   "0.02"^^xsd:string ;
62           rdfs:label  "The 0.02nd Coming" ;  ## a "title" for the release
63           dcs:changeset [
64             dcs:item
65               [ rdfs:label "Example change." ] ,
66               [ rdfs:label "Example bugfix." ; a dcs:Bugfix ] ,
67               [ rdfs:label "Example new feature." ; a dcs:Addition ] ,
68               [ rdfs:label "Example removal." ; a dcs:Removal ]
69           ] .
70
71   Describing the Distribution
72       Use DOAP to describe the distribution. At the very least you need to
73       assert that the project is a Project and provide a name for it. You
74       must also list all the releases you wish to appear in the human-
75       readable Changes file generated by the Module::Install::DOAPChangeSets
76       module. There are plenty of other properties in DOAP which you can also
77       use.
78
79         my:project
80           a           :Project ;
81           :name       "Example-Example" ;
82           :shortdesc  "Just an example!" ;
83           :programming-language "Perl" ;
84           :created    "2007-12-18"^^xsd:date ;
85           :maintainer my:developer ;
86           :homepage   <http://search.cpan.example.org/dist/Example-Example/> ;
87           :bug-database <http://rt.cpan.example.org/Dist/Display.html?Queue=Example-Example> ;
88           :release    my:v_0-01 , my:v_0-02 .
89
90   Describing a Developer
91       Developers should be described using FOAF. At the very least, include a
92       name.  A CPAN e-mail address is also a good idea.
93
94         my:developer
95           a           foaf:Person ;
96           foaf:name   "Joe Bloggs" ;
97           foaf:mbox   <mailto:joebloggs@cpan.example.org> ;
98           foaf:page   <http://search.cpan.example.org/~joebloggs/> .
99
100   Legacy Support
101       The module has legacy support for Aaron Cope's "changefile" vocab, but
102       this is not thoroughly tested. Changelogs written in this vocab tend to
103       use DOAP incorrectly, so I discourage using this vocab.
