Report on General team meeting -- Kate

  • Various edit passes completed on Spec

      • If there is no known location for a DOAP document on the web, RDF may represent as an anonymous node; in the tag/value format, ArtifactOfURI will have the value ‘UNKNOWN’
      • RDF may generate a URI named node for the doap:Project even if document is not on the web, so that single node may be referenced in the RDF graph.
      • If translating from tag/value format to RDF format, translator may choose to generate a single URI any referenced doap:Project having name and homepage pair are the same
