Re: [DISCUSS] DirectMemory to join the Apache Incubator

Re: [DISCUSS] DirectMemory to join the Apache Incubator
Well, I currently use github wiki for documentation and don't have a specific preference for confluence so I probably should have written Wiki; in any case I'm open to whatever the current apache standard is. The only exception, maybe, is for SVN - I heard that someone in apache is experimenting with GIT and I would like DirectMemory to be part of that experiment as well - should the rest of the team agree.

Lets say the status is currently some kind of closed beta. Its currently under heavy discussion so it might take a while until people actually can use it. If you like, you can express your interest in GIT in the proposal (at the subversion url) but you should not expect this will happen to soon. Anyway, lets wait for a few days until the git discussion have settled down before we vote.

Thanks, Ashutosh
[VOTE] Add Any23 to the Apache Incubator
Hi Folks, OK, the proposal period had died now and I'm now calling a formal VOTE on the Any23 proposal located here: http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/Any23Proposal Proposal text copied at the bottom of this email. I'll leave the VOTE open through the rest of the week, and close it around Saturday, October 1, early AM PDT. Please VOTE: [ ] +1 Accept Any23 into the Apache Incubator [ ] +0 Don't care [ ] -1 Don't Accept Any23 into the Apache Incubator because... Thanks! Cheers, Chris P.S. Here's my +1 Proposal Text: = Any23 = == Abstract == The following proposal is about ''Anything To Triples'' (shortly Any23) defined as a Java library, a Web service and a set of command line tools to extract and validate structured data in [[http://www.w3.org/RDF/|RDF]] format from a variety of Web documents and markup formats. Any23 is what it is informally named an ''RDF Distiller''. == Proposal == Any23 "Anything to Triples" is a library written in Java 6 and released under the Apache 2.0 License. It provides a set of extractors for scraping semantic markup (such as [[http://microformats.org/|Microformats]], [[http://www.w3.org/TR/rdfa-syntax/|RDFa]] and [[http://www.w3.org/TR/microdata/|Microdata]]) from several sources (HTML4, XHTML5, CSV), a set of data validations, a set of parsers and writers to handle the main RDF transport formats (RDFXML, Ntriples, NQuads, Turtle). The library provides a command line tool for dealing with data extraction, conversion and validation, and a REST service implementation. The library is plugin based, allowing the hot loading of new extractors and validators. Any23 enables third-parties developers to access structured data from Web pages without the need of implementing ad-hoc scraping techniques. In this sense, Any23 will relieve developers from build complex solutions when developing data acquisition pipelines and processes targeted to semantically marked-up Web data. == Background == Any23 has been initially developed at [[http://www.deri.ie/|DERI (Digital Enterprise Research Institute)]], as main component of the RDF extraction pipeline used in [[http://sindice.com/|Sindice (the Semantic Web Index)]], now is evolved in joint effort with [[http://www.fbk.eu/|FBK (Fondazione Bruno Kessler)]]. At present time the Any23 official [[http://developers.any23.org|developers page]] contains all the documentation, while the code is maintained on [[http://code.google.com/p/any23/|Google Code]]. An official up-to-date showcase [[http://any23.org|demo]] is also available. == Rationale == Provide and maintain a robust, standard and updated library for extracting and validating semantic markup from heterogeneous sources would provide large benefits to the entire Open Source Community. Researchers and academic projects are adopting RDF related technologies from years while the industry is actually moving toward Semantic Web technologies with more concreteness. Several industry initiatives related to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web|Web of Data]] are taking place in the these months. [[http://schema.org|Schema.org]], for example, is an initiative sponsored by [[http://www.google.com/about/corporate/company/|Google Inc]], [[http://info.yahoo.com/center/us/yahoo/|Yahoo Inc]] and [[http://www.microsoft.com/about/companyinformation/en/us/default.aspx|Microsoft Corporation]] to structure the data in a harmonized way on [[http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html|HTML5]] pages. [[http://schema.org|Schema.org]] leverages on the [[http://dev.w3.org/html5/md/|HTML5 Microdata]] native specification. [[http://ogp.me/|OpenGraphProtocol]] is the open standard sponsored by [[https://www.facebook.com/pages/Facebooking/114721225206500|Facebook Inc]] to include metadata in HTML page headers. [[http://ogp.me/|OpenGraphProtocol]], initially based on [[http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-rdfa-primer/|RDFa]], allows to describe the content of a Web page and its underlying vocabulary could be directly represented using RDF. = Current Status = == Meritocracy == The historical Any23 team believes in meritocracy and always acted as a community. Mailing list, open issue tracker and other communication channels have always been adopted since its first release. The adoption in a larger community, such as Apache, is the natural evolution for Any23. Moreover, the Apache standards will enforce the existing Any23 community practices and will be a foundation for future committers involvement. == Core Developers == In alphabetical order: * Davide Palmisano * Giovanni Tummarello * Michele Mostarda * Richard Cyganiak * Reto Bachmann-Gmuer * Simone Tripodi * Szymon Danielczyk * Tommaso Teofili == Alignment == Main aim of the project is to develop and maintain a fully flavored semantic markup distiller that can be used by other Apache projects that need an RDF extraction tool. The Any23 library core is written using the followi
