[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 <dpalmisano at gmail dot com>
* Giovanni Tummarello <giovanni dot tummarello at deri dot org>
* Michele Mostarda <michele dot mostarda at gmail dot com>
* Richard Cyganiak <richard at cyganiak dot de>
* Reto Bachmann-Gmuer <reto at apache dot org>
* Simone Tripodi <simonetripodi at apache dot org>
* Szymon Danielczyk <danielczyk.szymon at gmail dot com>
* Tommaso Teofili <tommaso at apache dot org>
== 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 following Apache libraries.
* [[http://commons.apache.org/lang/|Apache Commons Lang]]
* [[http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/|Apache Commons HTTP Client]]
* [[http://commons.apache.org/codec/|Apache Commons Codec]]
* [[http://tika.apache.org/|Apache Tika]]
* [[http://commons.apache.org/cli/|Apache Commons CLI]]
* [[http://poi.apache.org/|Apache POI]]
The Any23 service is targeted to run within any compliant Servlet container like Tomcat.
= Known Risks =
== Orphaned Products ==
The increasing number of Any23 adopters and the raising interest for Semantic Web related technologies let us believe that there is a minimal risk for this work to being abandoned from the community. Moreover Any23 has already been used in production by Sindice.com and other DERI projects for years.
== Inexperience with Open Source ==
All of the committers have experience working in one or more open source projects inside and outside ASF.
== Homogeneous Developers ==
The list of initial committers are geographically distributed across Europe with no one company being associated with a majority of the developers. Many of these initial developers are experienced Apache committers already and all are experienced with working in distributed development communities.
== Reliance on Salaried Developers ==
To the best of our knowledge, the biggest part of the initial committers is being paid to develop code for this project due to the adoption of Any23 in their organizations infrastructures. In any case, some of the core historical developers (some of them no longer getting paid from the original companies behind Any23) are still committing even if Any23 is not employed in their actual organizations. Any23 has already proven its capability to attract external developers.
== Relationships with Other Apache Products ==
In the last years, other projects have been under ASF incubation process relying on the Semantic Web technology stack, such as Apache Clerezza, Stanbol and Jena. This could be seen as a proof of the consolidation and the adoption growing tendency of such technologies. Apart the specificity of those projects, sharing the same underlying stack, Any23 could be employed in every projects needing a reliable framework to access structured semantic markup. Any23 core could be easily released also as a [[http://wiki.apache.org/nutch/PluginCentral|Apache Nutch Plugin]] and then, used to handy fill [[http://www.openrdf.org/doc/sesame2/system/ch05.html|SAIL-compliant]] triple stores.
== An Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand ==
Even if the Any23 community recognizes the power and the attractiveness of the ASF brand, we are absolutely aware of our already established role in the wider Semantic Web developers community. Any23 already proved its reliability in closely support all the new specifications coming from the Microformats communities, our major contributors in term of opened issues about new feature requests. Furthermore, we are convinced that we can enthusiastically bring inside the ASF new and fresh energies in order to improve our visions, insights and knowledge about the other projects and, most important, to have the possibility of enlarge our small community with talented and passionate developers.

Well, when I first saw the proposal and just two mentors were listed
I thought I'd do it if necessary, and I'm still happy to. But today
with four mentors already listed I thought that would be superfluous.
If changing the proposal mid-vote doesn't bother anyone then let's
go ahead. Though I won't be around much in the next week or so
to get concerned with setup.

Hehe. Not actually what I meant, and I'm not sure whether you
should change the proposal after voting has started. But I'm
fine with it either way.
It's a while since I've been involved in either semweb or java
projects, but this one looks interesting!

>> == 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.

>> 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.

Any23 already proved its reliability in closely support all the new specifications coming from the Microformats communities, our major contributors in term of opened issues about new feature requests. Furthermore, we are convinced that we can enthusiastically bring inside the ASF new and fresh energies in order to improve our visions, insights and knowledge about the other projects and, most important, to have the possibility of enlarge our small community with talented and passionate developers.

> 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

>
> == 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|MicrosoftCorporation]] to structure the data in a harmonized way on [[
> http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html|HTML5]] pages. [[

> http://ogp.me/|OpenGraphProtocol]], initially based on [[

> 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.

> * Simone Tripodi <simonetripodi at apache dot org>
> * Szymon Danielczyk <danielczyk.szymon at gmail dot com>
> * Tommaso Teofili <tommaso at apache dot org>
>
> == 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 following Apache libraries.
>
> * [[http://commons.apache.org/lang/|Apache Commons Lang]]
> * [[http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/|Apache Commons HTTP Client]]
> * [[http://commons.apache.org/codec/|Apache Commons Codec]]
> * [[http://tika.apache.org/|Apache Tika]]
> * [[http://commons.apache.org/cli/|Apache Commons CLI]]
> * [[http://poi.apache.org/|Apache POI]]
>
> The Any23 service is targeted to run within any compliant Servlet container like Tomcat.
>
> = Known Risks =
> == Orphaned Products ==
> The increasing number of Any23 adopters and the raising interest for Semantic Web related technologies let us believe that there is a minimal risk for this work to being abandoned from the community. Moreover Any23 has already been used in production by Sindice.com and other DERI projects for years.
>
> == Inexperience with Open Source ==
> All of the committers have experience working in one or more open source projects inside and outside ASF.
>
> == Homogeneous Developers ==
> The list of initial committers are geographically distributed across Europe with no one company being associated with a majority of the developers. Many of these initial developers are experienced Apache committers already and all are experienced with working in distributed development communities.
>
> == Reliance on Salaried Developers ==
> To the best of our knowledge, the biggest part of the initial committers is being paid to develop code for this project due to the adoption of Any23 in their organizations infrastructures. In any case, some of the core historical developers (some of them no longer getting paid from the original companies behind Any23) are still committing even if Any23 is not employed in their actual organizations. Any23 has already proven its capability to attract external developers.
>
> == Relationships with Other Apache Products ==
> In the last years, other projects have been under ASF incubation process relying on the Semantic Web technology stack, such as Apache Clerezza, Stanbol and Jena. This could be seen as a proof of the consolidation and the adoption growing tendency of such technologies. Apart the specificity of those projects, sharing the same underlying stack, Any23 could be employed in every projects needing a reliable framework to access structured semantic markup. Any23 core could be easily released also as a [[http://wiki.apache.org/nutch/PluginCentral|Apache Nutch Plugin]] and then, used to handy fill [[http://www.openrdf.org/doc/sesame2/system/ch05.html|SAIL-compliant]] triple stores.
>
> == An Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand ==
> Even if the Any23 community recognizes the power and the attractiveness of the ASF brand, we are absolutely aware of our already established role in the wider Semantic Web developers community. Any23 already proved its reliability in closely support all the new specifications coming from the Microformats communities, our major contributors in term of opened issues about new feature requests. Furthermore, we are convinced that we can enthusiastically bring inside the ASF new and fresh energies in order to improve our visions, insights and knowledge about the other projects and, most important, to have the possibility of enlarge our small community with talented and passionate developers.
