| <blockquote><p><b>DOAP (Description Of A Project)</b> is an RDF Schema and XML vocabulary to describe software projects, in particular free and open source software.</p></blockquote> |
| <figcaption>First sentence in <cite><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOAP" target='_blank'>Wikipedia DOAP article</a></cite></figcaption> |

| <p>By creating a DOAP file for |
| your project and adding it to <a href="https://github.com/apache/comdev-projects/blob/trunk/data/projects.xml" target='_blank'>the ASF projects feed</a>, you can provide essential details about your project which |
| can then be presented to various audiences in various formats, along |
| with information about other ASF projects.</p> |
| |
| <p>This site (<a href="https://projects.apache.org/">projects.apache.org</a>) |
| is generated from DOAP files that each project maintains individually. If a |
| project hasn't provided a <a href="https://github.com/apache/comdev-projects/blob/trunk/data/projects.xml" target='_blank'>link to their DOAP file</a>, it won't appear on this site. |
| If the project you're interested in isn't here, send them a link to this page, |
| and tell them to create a DOAP file and get themselves listed!</p> |

| <h4>History</h4> |
| <p>During October 2005 a wide ranging discussion was <a href="https://lists.apache.org/list?site-dev@apache.org:2005-10:DOAP" target='_blank'>held on the site-dev mailing list</a> aimed at arriving at an archictecture and tools that would allow us to create a project directory web site. A key part of the plans, and one of the biggest stumbling blocks, was the selection of a suitable format of information file that would be the key part.</p> |
| <p>The result of the discussion was a consensus to use <a href="https://github.com/edumbill/doap/wiki" target='_blank'>DOAP</a> - "Description Of A Project" which is an RDF based format. The decision was taken for the following reasons:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>use of an existing format was felt to be important</li> |
| <li>it was becoming more commonly used and therefore had a growing base of support</li> |
| <li>being designed to be extensible, it can be easily adjusted to our needs</li> |
| </ul> |
