metadata schema for theorem provers

[kohlhase]

We should develop a metadata schema for provers, implement it in provers.yml, collect the respective data, and show it on the web site (e.g. as a popup for the provers. I think we need the following fields for a start:

• maintainer [n] (last kwown maintainers)
• authors [n] (original authors)
• years (the years of active development)
• home system home page if it still exists
• languages programming languages used
• license if any

There is more information in the table at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_theorem_proving which could be relevant for our metadata schema.

Once we have the metadata, we can make derived listings from those, not just the chronological we have right now.

OH, and we need to document the metadata as well.

I have started documenting the existing metadata at https://github.com/theoremprover-museum/theoremprover-museum.github.io/tree/master/_data

[kohlhase]

and I have just started to add author data to https://github.com/theoremprover-museum/theoremprover-museum.github.io/tree/master/_data/provers.yml We need more.

this schema works for now.
