I don't follow how moving the PMC RDF file makes any difference. That file does not contain any reference to the IoT space apart perhaps from the charter. Generally the PMC RDF file can be created and then left alone. It's the DOAP files that are important for identifying what products are available in the various different fields of use. > Chris > > Am 24.04.19, 10:29 schrieb "sebb" <seb...@gmail.com>: > > On Wed, 24 Apr 2019 at 09:08, Christofer Dutz <christofer.d...@c-ware.de> > wrote: > > > > Hi all, > > > > I’m involved in the IoT track for ACNA and ACEU and was trying to use > [1] to find all Apache in the IoT space.
