So, I'm going through the Web interface, coming up with some more tags
as I tag packages. Here they are:
Games : RPG : Rogue-like
A class of games derived from "Rogue". Examples would be nethack,
angband, zangband, langband.
CORBA
Orbs, development libraries, IDL compilers, and other packages
related to the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA).
Network and Internet : World Wide Web : Wiki
Wiki software, servers, utilities and plug-ins.
Language : French
Language : German
Language : Polish
Language : Spanish
Language : Bulgarian
Language : Esperanto
Language : (etc.)
Documentation, tools, data files, that're related to a
language. Not necessarily the same thing as "Language Support",
since having a man page in French doesn't make your computer that
much "Frenchier".
Software Development / programming : Paradigm : Object Oriented
Software Development / programming : Paradigm : Logic Programming
Software Development / programming : Paradigm : Functional
Software Development / programming : Paradigm : Aspect Oriented
Software Development / programming : Paradigm : (etc.)
Development tools, libraries, interpreters, compilers, etc. that
have to do with one or another paradigm.
Sometimes programming languages have a single paradigm or a
strongly associated paradigm (e.g., Logic Programming and Prolog,
Object Oriented and Java), and so anything associated with that
language should also be associated with the paradigm. In other
case, the language isn't particularly associated with a paradigm
(e.g., Perl), but there are libraries or tools that add on some
paradigm stuff (like libclass-accessor-perl).
Debian specific : Debian Developer
Tools, documentation, etc. of use primarily to Debian developers.
Lastly, I'm wondering: has anyone looked at the categories on
freshmeat.net? They've got a _great_ ontology (hey, bet you didn't
know you were making an ontology, didja?), and it'd probably be a good
idea (and save some heartache) to synch up with their categories. It
might even be possible to do some automated tagging, matching source
packages to freshmeat packages.
Just a thought,
~ESP
