To make the commons discussion more concrete I would suggest the
following items for the commons:
- an IRI library
- some code to do with vocabularies.
- connecting to a URL and doing semweb aware content negotiation (this
is typically done badly)
(Actually the IRI code should probably be wider, Jena initially used the
xerces URI code but then the needs exceeded what they supported)

Wow! Jena is proposing to come to Apache??!
Yep, the proposal has been under discussion for some time within the
project, and Ross is now taking the lead in bringing it publicly into
the incubator process.

1. Clerezza, Stanbol and Jena are independent podlings, each aiming
for top-level status
2. A Semantic Commons area is created for common code between these
(and other) projects. Details to be discussed, this does probably not
warrant a separate Apache project, but might be managed by Clerezza,
as they were here first.
3. It is expected that those projects will have a number of committers
in common, as there are many collaboration possibilities.
As an Apache newbie it's hard to comment definitively, but it's not
clear to me what the common needs of the projects might be, and how
dependencies would handled. Are there examples of existing "commons"
areas between Apache projects, other than basic application->library
dependencies?
