Document and minimise minimum RDF requirements #408

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I've been having a few issues with submitting RDF descriptions of projects 
which later cause exceptions because fields are missing or blank. It would be 
good to work out what the minimum required fields are, and document that.

In addition, it would be good that the minimum be as bare-bones as possible. 
Although it might not make sense for JISC to want to publish information about 
a project that has no description, it might make sense for some other user.

There's a test project file in the core project [1] containing only
- shortdesc
- name
- homepage

The tests in the core project pass, but that's no guarantee it works well in 
the web interface. We could work with that example project though.

Note that in a few of the XML files you've attached in issues, I noticed that 
you've stripped the rdf:about, leading to all projects submitting containing:

  <Project rdf:about="http://registry.oss-watch.ac.uk/">

In the doapcreator javascript the rdf:about is generated (line 349) as:
  http://registry.oss-watch.ac.uk/projects/shortname
where shortname is the 'Unique project tag' in the UI.

The rdf:about is the unique identification of the project. If you keep this the 
same across all project you will get strange side-effects, as these will all be 
linked to the same project in some form.

It would be great to wrtite a unit test for the webapp that imports a minimal 
project, like this one then retrieves all the main pages to see if there are 
any major problems rendering.

We can then, as Sander suggests, use that as an example of the minimal project 
data that is accepted.
