RDF, widgets, Opera, DOAP
Opera 9.0 has just been released, and with that,
widgets.opera.com. Widgets are small chrome-less programs for a specific task. Each widget now comes with
DOAP-support. DOAP is an RDF schema for describing software projects. It is most useful for larger free software projects, where you have public version control systems and mailing lists, but I have entered some useful data on the widgets too.
For example, the circular Tetris widget
Torus has a
link element to
the DOAP for the widget. While it isn't visible on the page, it should be detectable for applications looking for RDF.
