Adding FOAF can add ghost projects #200

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
 When a foaf file contains a curentProject node it can create ghost
projects. For example, after importing the test data importing
http://people.apache.org/~rgardler/foaf.rdf.xml creates some projects with
a name that is the URI for a proejct in the foaf file already present in
the repository.

The above description is incorrect and the problem is in the FOAF file not Simal
(although Simal should degrade gracefully).

In the above FOAF file we have, for example:

<foaf:currentProject>
  <doap:Project>
    <pm:name>Apache Forrest</pm:name>
    <pm:homepage rdf:resource="http://forrest.apache.org"/>
  </doap:Project>
</foaf:currentProject>

Note the name and homepage nodes are not in the DOAP namespace. As a result the
duplicate matching does not work and a new project is created, but without a 
name.
Hence the URI of the new project is used as the name.

Since this is largely a problem in the FOAF I'm moving this to 0.3 and lowering 
the
priority so it does not delay the 0.2 release.
