Edit : I’ve now managed to roll out my contribution which is now in production on packages.qa.debian.org. See a later post I’ve made on the subject, and beware that the generated RDF has changed a bit also.
ADMS.SW proposes specifications for description of software present in software catalogues.
I’ve tried and apply it to the contents of the Debian Package Tracking System (PTS), using transformation of the information known by the PTS to RDF+XML.
The result is not yet in production, but here’s an example of what can be done, using the Turtle syntax (more readable) :

Btw, there are more details about this in the debian-qa list archives : https://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2012/08/msg00099.html (debian-qa is where PTS development is discussed, normally).
So I see 647872 triples loaded in in virtuoso.
Among which :
– 2096 “names” of packagers (which can be packaging teams).
– 6693 upstream projects with homepages. Among which 61 from apache.org, so which should have some DOAP RDF descriptions available…
Btw, the presentation I’ve made was recorded and is available at : https://www.irill.org/videos/Mini-Debconf-2012-Paris/olivier-berger
