## Description: The mission of Apache Any23 is the creation and maintenance of software related to automatic crawling, parsing, analyzing, producing, validating and converting RDF (Resource Description Framework) data ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention ## Membership Data: Apache Any23 was founded 2012-08-27 (10 years ago) There are currently 15 committers and 14 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:7. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Hans Brende on 2018-02-25. - No new committers. Last addition was Hans Brende on 2018-02-21. In the last quarter the Any23 PMC invited a community contributor to the PMC and Committership however the invitation was rejected. ## Project Activity: Since activating Dependabot on the Any23 Github repository the overwhelming activity has surrounded dependency maintenance. This proactive measure will ensure that the Any23 project stays secure and reasonably up-to-date. ## Community Health: The mailing lists are very quiet. Any23 continues to be used by community members however there is not much community activity so to speak. Typically things get a bit busier whenever an RC is produced. We may roll an RC for 2.8 sometime this summer.
## Description: The mission of Apache Any23 is the creation and maintenance of software related to automatic crawling, parsing, analyzing, producing, validating and converting RDF (Resource Description Framework) data ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache Any23 was founded 2012-08-27 (10 years ago) There are currently 15 committers and 15 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Hans Brende on 2018-02-25. - No new committers. Last addition was Hans Brende on 2018-02-21. ## Project Activity: Any23 2.7 was released on 2022-03-03. This is a security fix release. The core project codebase recently started using the Dependabot feature. This has added a lot of value to the project allowing us to keep the codebase more secure and current. Ultimately it provides a better overall software product. Any23 also started using sonarcloud.io as part of project continuous integration. This is aimed to improving code quality across the project and also highlighting security vulnerabilities early on. ## Community Health: The Any project has made two releases this year. This is great for the project and shows that the project is healthy. In other news, Any23 is being used in the Web Data Commons project http://webdatacommons.org/structureddata/2021-12/stats/stats.html. WebDataCommons released 82.1 billion quads Microdata, Embedded JSON-LD, RDFa, and Microformat data originating from 14.6 million websites. This is exactly the kind of use case which demonstrates Any23's utility.
## Description: The mission of Apache Any23 is the creation and maintenance of software related to automatic crawling, parsing, analyzing, producing, validating and converting RDF (Resource Description Framework) data ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache Any23 was founded 2012-08-27 (9 years ago) There are currently 15 committers and 15 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Hans Brende on 2018-02-25. - No new committers. Last addition was Hans Brende on 2018-02-21. ## Project Activity: The project recently activated Dependabot (https://github.com/dependabot) on the codebase. This is really helping to ensure Any23 dependencies are kept up-to-date. The goal is for the project to make more regular releases. A 2.6 release candidate has been available since 2021-11-12 with two +1 PMC VOTE's and one +1 non-PMC VOTE. We are somewhat struggling to get one more PMC vote and this is holding up the 2.6 release. ## Community Health: A VOTE thread has been underway to invite a long-term community member as PMC. This thread is suffering from the same attention as the 2.6 release candidate thread however. We are struggling to get one more PMC +1 VOTE.

Last addition was Hans Brende on 2018-02-21. ## Project Activity: In August 2021, a non-project committer reported two security vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities were tracked through the Apache CVE process and a subsequent release was cut as Any23 2.5. The official CVE's are CVE-2021-38555 and CVE-2021-40146. ## Community Health: 4 members of the PMC responded to the 2.5 VOTE thread. The community is small but healthy.

This represents normal project activity.

Last addition was Hans Brende on 2018-02-21. ## Project Activity: Project activity is characteristically low. So far 20 issues have been addressed for the 2.5 development drive so a 2.5 release candidate could easily be produced. ## Community Health: Community health is quiet but nominal. We will most likely submit a presentation to the RDF / Linked data session @ApacheCon. Any23 featured as the primary software used in the recent WebDataCommons data release https://groups.google.com/g/web-data-commons/c/IztabA5kMzg?pli=1 This dataset released 86.3 billion quads Microdata, Embedded JSON-LD, RDFa, and Microformat data originating from 15.3 million websites.

Last addition was Hans Brende on 2018-02-21. ## Project Activity: The project successfully released Any23 2.4 in October 2020. A few bugs and features have been worked on since then. Project activity is low as usual. ## Community Health: At the Boards prompting, a ROLL CALL (https://s.apache.org/cu8h0) was posted on user@ and dev@. The community responded and confirmed that the project community is still alive. The community is in good health. Arguably as good as it ever has been.
## Description: The mission of Apache Any23 is the creation and maintenance of software related to automatic crawling, parsing, analyzing, producing, validating and converting RDF (Resource Description Framework) data ## Issues: Board feedback as of September 2020 was that the project required a rollcall. This was initiated by the project with parallel threads on user@ and dev@. The results indicate that the project community is healthy and that there is enough interest in Any23 to continue the project. The threads can be found at https://s.apache.org/ydold and https://s.apache.org/y4zfd ## Membership Data: Apache Any23 was founded 2012-08-27 (8 years ago) There are currently 15 committers and 15 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Hans Brende on 2018-02-25. - No new committers. Last addition was Hans Brende on 2018-02-21. ## Project Activity: Any23 2.4 was released on 2020-10-06. This is the first release for Any23 in over a year and fixed 39 issues. The release was previously blocked by some Spotbugs issues but these were non-blocking and we decided to release. ## Community Health: Some positive input from the community on user@ demonstrated that Any23 is in use and that it is worthwhile maintaining the project even if this means low activity.
No report was submitted.
@Roy: pursue a roll call for Any23

Last addition was Hans Brende on 2018-02-21. ## Project Activity: Project activity is low. Not really much going on since April 2020. This is characteristic of Any23 and nothing out of the norm. For some time work on Spotbugs issues has prevented a 2.4 release. A thread relating to pushing off that primary issue such that 2.4 the release is unblocked is underway on dev@any23. ## Community Health: The Any23 community is quiet but we have not struggled with getting VOTE's when needed. This statement will be tested when the community is required to VOTE on 2.4 release candidate.

Last addition was Hans Brende on 2018-02-21. ## Project Activity: Project activity has actually been very low indeed! No dev@ work has been logged in JIRA since 2019-10-17. Put simply, the project is going through a very quiet period indeed. In October of 2019 the PMC was actually working on a release... this stalled as there were several Spotbugs issues which were being worked on. That work did not finished so the release was never finished. The next steps are for that work to resume and for the project to make a formal release. Right now, no plan is in place for when that will be! ## Community Health: Although the community is not growing, as of Oct 2019, the small community was responsive and quite eager to see a release. Once work is completed on the Spotbugs issues and we make a release we will hopefully see a bit of community activity as we roll out application upgrades.

Last addition was Hans Brende on 2018-02-21. ## Project Activity: Although project activity has been low since October, Any23 is very close to a version 2.4 release. One of the IN PROGRESS tickets relates to fixing all spotbugs issues so this is taking a while. Recently a Docker build was developed and committed to the server repository. ## Community Health: In October, the Any23 community decided to simplify the core repository by extracting the Any23 plugins and server modules into separated repositories. This consensus indicated decent community health. A new use case for Any23 is being realized at NASA JPL relating to enterprise knowledge graphs so it is envisaged that more community contributions will ensue from that.

Last addition was Hans Brende on 2018-02-21. ## Project Activity: Any23 has seen some new activity from from non-PMC/Committer in the last while which is positive. The project remains quiet generally. ## Community Health: dev@ mailing list activity saw an increase in the last quarter. This did not relate to much in the way of development but involved discussion between new community members which is great. There are no current epic development tasks planned for Any23 so it might be time to kick that conversation off on our mailing list.

## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
Activity has really picked up this last quarter. The Any23 community is
currently (2018-03/05) VOTE'ing on a 2.2 RC#2 which includes a large number
of improvements, bug fixes and features. There was an issue with the 2.2 RC#2
which is being addressed at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-16130,
essentially the Any23 service artifacts are rather large, this will have an
inevitable impact on Mirror(s) and the network so INFRA is kindly suggested that
we try to work things through a CDN. We will pursue this offer with the aim of
distributing the service artifacts in future releases.

## Description:
Apache Any23 is a library, a web service and a command line tool that extracts
structured data in RDF format from a variety of Web documents.
## Issues:
there are no issues requiring board attention at this time
## Activity:
Any23 is very quiet. Very very quiet. We have brought on one new PMC
member based upon a documentation contribution which is great. However
Any23 remains (as is always has) very quiet.
## Health report:
The health report reflects the above activity. We are actually waiting on
a critical dependency release which will enable us to stabalize out test
suite and push for a 1.2. release. Any23 is very quiet as always.

## Mailing list activity:
It would appear that without any release coming out of Any23 our
community is not growinf much... if anything it is possibly stagnating
and even diminishing. As PMC Chair I am optimistic that if we can
stabalize tests and release, then this outcome will change as we
typically announce out releases to the W3C and other Web-based forums.

Activity is pretty slow. Any23 would really benefit from a release.
We have a blocking issue which needs to be addressed
cf. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ANY23-280

Any23 remains a quiet community. We are however growing the community
with recent additions to our PMC. The general project health is good,
with activity remaining low.

## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time
## Activity:
Unfortunately the proposed GSoC project did not go ahead.
Lessons have been learned from the application period and
next year we will better engage with target communities.
Activity has been pretty low as usual with at least one
blocking issue which needs t be addressed before we can make
our next release.
## Health report:
Any23 continues to be a quiet but useful project for its user base.
The main issue which will increase project health is for us to make
a 1.2 release. We also need to grow the community and hopefully
add a new committer or PMC member.

## Issues:
The community continues to remian quiet with few bugs logged and few fixed.
## Activity:
We have had a handful of users registering bugs some of which have been
fixed but some remain open. The project really needs to move towards another
release to keep some momentum going. We are planning on another GSoC project
this year so fingers crossed that this works out.
## Health report:
Any23 is a very quiet project. The mailing lists are typically very quiet.
The project is still alive as PMC and Committers use the Jira instance
to discuss fixing bugs and improving issues. There is no hiding the fact
however that the community is not really growing much at all.

Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time
Activity:
- Any23 activity for the quarter has been typically slow. The community
has not really been able to ride off of a successful GSoC project however
we are currently disucssing the release of the 1.2 codebase as 12 issues
have been fixed since 1.1.
Health report:
- Any23 is a small community with out primary consumers being communties
outside of TheASF. To this end we aim to keep our parsing and extraction
implementations up-to-date with Standards... we are doing well on this front.
Mailing lists are always quiet so it is clear that we are not doing a great
job at growing community.

## Activity:
- Project activity has primarily revolved around the GSoC project which
involved implementation of Microformats2 within Any23. We are very close to
merging this work into Any23 master branch. We will nearly be ready for a
1.2 release once this has been committed.
## Health report:
- Any23 is a small and reasonably quiet community. We would hope that our
GSoC student will continue to contribute to the project but will also be
reaching out to the Microformats community again very soon to introduce the
availability of Microformats2 support within Any23. Mailing list activity
is typical for Any23.

## Activity:
Progress has been slow and typical of Any23 generally. We have one Google
Summer of Code project currently ongoing with Nisala Mendis as student
and Lewis John McGibbney and Micehele Mostarda as co mentors. This is
Any23's first GSoC effort and is going well so far.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time
however we are aware that Any23 community is not growing much.
Hopefully GSoC will provide an opportunity for us to further engage
and recruit more PMC members.

Anything To Triples (Any23) is a library, a web service and a command line tool that extracts structured data in RDF format from a variety of Web documents. Project Releases The last release of Any23 (1.1) was on 16-Oct-2014. Overall Project Activity since last report Project activity has been reasonably slow however this is nothing new for Any23 generally. Work is nearly complete on the Any23 plugin for Apache Nutch trunk codebase https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-1129 Additionally Any23 has featured in a number of recent presentations at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory where the software is being evaluated for use within the Systems Engineering domain. How has the community developed since the last report? Since the Any23 1.0 release the release management process has included emailing the announcement to a number of very active W3C lists. The intention here is to interest other developers and build the Any23 community further. This strategy is gathering traction, usually with activity immediately after the last two Any23 releases. http://any23.apache.org/release-howto.html#Announce_the_Release Any23 received contributions in the form of the donation of both any23.org and any23.com domain names. We thank Richard Cyganiak for the contributions and also Infra for accepting them. Changes to PMC & Committers Stephane Corlosquet (scor) was added to the Any23 PMC on Tue, 19 Aug 2014 04:28:51 GMT.
Anything To Triples (Any23) is a library, a web service and a command line tool that extracts structured data in RDF format from a variety of Web documents. Project Releases The last release of Any23 (1.0) was on 13-May-2014. Overall Project Activity since last report Project activity has been reasonably slow however this is nothing new for Any23 generally. Any23 is being used within the Eurosentiment [0] project for extracting structured reviews from websites. These review are then used to build topical lexicon on a website-by-website domain-by-domain basis. There is currently a thread out discussing if a project release should take place. [0] http://eurosentiment.eu/ How has the community developed since the last report? Lewis John McGibbney is actively pushing for Any23 to become a well recognised software component within the W3C Data on the Web Best Practices Working Group. Since then our new PMC member Stephane has also been active. It is our underatanding that Any23 will not be represented at ApacheCon EU. Changes to PMC & Committers Stephane Corlosquet (scor) was added to the Any23 PMC recently with his account being created Tue, 19 Aug 2014 04:28:51 GMT.
Anything To Triples (Any23) is a library, a web service and a command line tool that extracts structured data in RDF format from a variety of Web documents. Project Releases The last release of Any23 (1.0) was on 13-May-2014. This was a major release for the project and marks a new direction for the community. Overall Project Activity since last report We are pursuing the initiative to build a Any23-based Firefox extension which we intend to submit to Mozilla for review once finished. It should be noted that we have made recently made progress by engaging with several W3C communities related to Semantic Web initiatives as well as Open Data. The Any23 service located at any23-vm.apache.org (which exposes the Any23 REST API) has been actively evaluated against the test suite residing at http://rdfa.info/test-suite/ and the results openly discussed on a number of mailing lists. It turns our that based on the improvements made to Any23 during the 1.0 development drive we are running at 99.2% compliance, which is pretty awesome. When were the last committers or PMC members elected? How has the community developed since the last report? We accepted and merged a Github pull request from a contributor who has not featured on the mailing lists before. Lewis John McGibbney is exploring the possibility of engaging individuals within NASA JPL and W3C Data on the Web Best Practice WG in Any23. These are early initiatives. Changes to PMC & Committers
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors heretofore appointed Michele Mostarda to the office of Vice President, Apache Any23, and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is in receipt of the resignation of Michele Mostarda from the office of Vice President, Apache Any23, and WHEREAS, the Project Management Committee of the Apache Any23 project has chosen by vote to recommend Lewis John McGibbney as the successor to the post; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Michele Mostarda is relieved and discharged from the duties and responsibilities of the office of Vice President, Apache Any23, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Lewis John McGibbney be and hereby is appointed to the office of Vice President, Apache Any23, to serve in accordance with and subject to the direction of the Board of Directors and the Bylaws of the Foundation until death, resignation, retirement, removal or disqualification, or until a successor is appointed.

Anything To Triples (Any23) is a library, a web service and a command line tool that extracts structured data in RDF format from a variety of Web documents. Project Releases The last release of Any23 (0.9.0) was on 3rd November 2013. Overall Project Activity since last report Project activity has been very quiet again. There has been one proposed fix for a new RDFa compliant parser and some community members have been trying this out very recently. Some other issues have been fixed and the process of proposing parts of the codebase to the Apache Tika community is the main focus. One issue which is currently being worked on (and nearly complete) is to migrate the 'mime' module over to Apache Tika. Please see the below Jira ticket. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1208. Due to interest/committer resources from within Any23 progress on this issue is slower than preferred HOWEVER it is NOT dead in the water. When were the last committers or PMC members elected? Chris Mattmann was added back to the PMC on Wed, 15th May 2013. How has the community developed since the last report? There has been no community development since we last reported. Changes to PMC & Committers As of 17/03/2014 (dd/mm/yyyy) the community is currently VOTE'ing on a PROPOSAL to change the Project Chair from Michele Mostarda to Lewis John McGibbney.

Project Releases The last release of Any23 (0.9.0) was on 3rd November 2013. Overall Project Activity since last report Project activity has been very quiet indeed. No issues have been fixed and the community has just initiated the process of proposing parts of the codebase which will be of value to the Apache Tika community. A parent issue [0] has been created and a draft proposal attached, the aim of which is to act as a working document as the migration gathers momentum. Additionally the initial aspect of the Any23 codebase, which we intend to imgrate, has been identified and an issue opened on the Tika Jira. We will monitor progress and work with the Tika PMC to propose patches. [0] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1207 When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

Anything To Triples (Any23) is a library, a web service and a command line tool that extracts structured data in RDF format from a variety of Web documents. Project Releases The last release of Any23 (0.9.0) was on 3rd November 2013. Overall Project Activity since last report Project activity has actually picked up since last month. We were able to engage more members of the community in VOTE'ing for the 0.9.0 release candidate which subsequently enabled us to make the release. We have had positive feedback from both within the Any23 community and over on dev@tika for possibly branching Tika and gradually merging in the aspects of the Any23 codebase from which Tika could benefit. When were the last committers or PMC members elected? Chris Mattmann was added back to the PMC on Wed, 15th May 2013. How has the community developed since the last report? We have had some users on the list but lists are far from busy. We remain positive that the 0.9.0 release and the initiative to take Any23 over to Tika will help to reinvigorate the project for the benefit of a wider audience. Changes to PMC & Committers Nothing to report. PMC and Committer diversity We currently have committers from a wide variety of Apache projects including, Nutch, Tika, OODT, Gora, Jena and Maven (this is not an exhaustive list).
Having missed last months report, this months report is rather peculiar in the sense that we are at crossroad within the very few (active) members of the community as to where to take the project. Progress has been very very slow. There have been a couple of new users of the software but the community, for all intent and means, has been unable to help them on mailing list. It is therefore sad that new users questions have gone virtually unanswered... which is a real pity. This email I suppose serves to act as a direct line of communicating the current community position within Apache Any23. This is not the first time that the attic has been mentioned. It is also important to say that we intend to approach the Apache Tika community in an attempt to invoke motivation behind merging some/all of the Any23 codebase into Apache Tika as there are numerous areas which one could define as being of common interest to both projects. I am kicking off this discussion on dev@tika.a.o <mailto:dev@tika.a.o> after I close this thread. If a formal report in the usual structure is required then I will be more than happy to post it here, however in all honesty there is literally zilch to report.
AI: Chris: follow up on future of the project
No report was submitted.
Anything the board should be aware of? --------------------------------------- There is a concern that the Any23 community isn't really actively participating in Apache. Lewis John McGibbney brought this to ComDev, and since then a few actions have been taken including pushing towards an RC for 0.8.0, and some discussions that included adding the former Champion of the project (Chris Mattmann) back to the PMC at his request. We should monitor progress here and hopefully we can get the project going forward here at the ASF. All should feel welcome to chime in. Releases / Development ---------------------- Lewis John McGibbney and Andy Seaborne and others are prepping for an 0.8.0. Community --------- Chris Mattmann was added back to the Any23 PMC.
Anything To Triples (Any23) is a library, a web service and a command line tool that extracts structured data in RDF format from a variety of Web documents. Project Releases The Any23 team was happy to announce the first release of Any23 0.7.0-incubating around September 2012. No releases have been made since. Overall Project Activity since last report Since January reporting, community traffic has remained relatively low both on the user and dev lists. The community decided to move the source code repository to Git as this was seen to be more convenient for the committer base. We are currently in that transition, and plan to release Any23 0.8.0 shortly afterwards this job is complete. How has the community developed since the last report? Mood reflects the previous admission that the Any23 community could benefit from more traffic. For the time being the 0.8.0 release is top of the agenda. It is also hoped that the move to Git will attract more Any23 users to the codebase. Changes to PMC & Committers none PMC and Committer diversity We currently have committers from a wide variety of projects including, Nutch, Tika, Gora, OODT, Maven and OpenRDF Sesame however this is not an exhaustive list.

Project Releases The Any23 team was happy to announce the first release of Any23 0.7.0-incubating around September 2012. Since then Simone Tripodi developed documentation which now means release candidates (and subsequent releases) can be made by any Any23 committer in an efficient and streamlined manner. Overall Project Activity since last report The last Any23 board report was in produced at the end of July 2012. Since then community traffic has remained relatively low both on the user and dev lists. The Any23 code base has however witnessed a significant restructuring effort in an attempt to create a more modular (OSGi-inspired) code base. Currently there are no immediate efforts aimed towards the next release. How has the community developed since the last report? Once in a while the community receives traffic from new Any23 users, one such example is a newly improved RDFa compliant parser proposal which has been logged and is being tracked through Jira. It is recognized that the community could benefit from more traffic. One method for building out the community would be better collaboration with developers behind the OpenRDF community. Peter Ansell (one of our PMC members) is a committer on the OpenRDF Sesame project so we look forward to increased collaboration in an attempt to build out the Any23 community.

Incubator Any23 podling encumbered upon the Apache Incubator
Project are hereafter discharged.
Special Order 8A, Establish the Apache Any23 Project, was
approved by Unanimous Vote of the directors present.
Anything To Triples (any23) is a library, a web service and a command line tool that extracts structured data in RDF format from a variety of Web documents. Any23 was voted into the Incubator by the IPMC on October 1, 2011. Three most important steps moving towards graduation - Grow the Any23 PPMC and community - Ensure at least one Any23 release - Identify and liaise with other semantic web/linked data projects within the ASF to establish common goals and objectives. The Any23 PPMC was delighted to extend an invitation to Peter Ansell during June. The invitation was subsequently accepted and we are happy to say that Peter is now on board. During June/July the community has focused on constructing the 0.7.0-incubating release candidate. We have experienced several problems along the way which have delayed this significantly, however as of writing the community is now VOTE'ing on the 0.7.0-incubating (release candidate #2) release thanks to Simone Tripodi, we anticipate a release shortly. Since last reporting we have integrated a number of commits to the project from a range of people. The total number of commits sitting at >1174 since Any23 entered the Apache Incubator. The website at http://incubator.apache.org/any23/ is also up and functioning, and appears to be in line with the Apache branding requirements. Lewis John McGibbney worked with ASF infrastructure to get a zone VM up and running to host the Any23 web service. The community has again been in touch with members from Stanbol, Jena and Clerezza and we have already discussed a committer meetup and liaison with the aforementioned sister projects at the forthcoming ApacheCon Europe.

Anything To Triples (any23) is a library, a web service and a command line tool that extracts structured data in RDF format from a variety of Web documents. Currently it supports the following input formats: - RDF/XML, Turtle, Notation 3 - RDFa with RDFa1.1 prefix mechanism - Microformats: Adr, Geo, hCalendar, hCard, hListing, hResume, hReview, License, XFN and Species - HTML5 Microdata: (such as Schema.org) - CSV: Comma Separated Values with separator auto-detection. Any23 was voted into the Incubator by the IPMC on October 1, 2011. The community has seen steady levels of traffic with the dev list receiving 281 hits in March; an increase from the previous month. One very interesting thread related to the webdatacommons.org project, which recently used Apache Any23 to extract embedded structured data from web pages. The project scales to cover several billion web pages, so we are very confident that the Any23 community is growing interest, this news reflects that view. We were recently contacted by the W3C's Semantic Web Activity Lead (Ivan Herman), and have been invited to provide an EARL report of Any23's test results with regards to the RDFa test suite, so that we could include it into http://rdfa.info/earl-reports/ We have been given until the end of April to submit. We are very close to VOTE'ing on the 0.7.0-incubating release (1st during incubation), and Simone Tripodi has stepped up as release manager. We are currently discussing when to push for the RC. Chris Mattmann is investigating the use of Any23 as one potential component in implementing GeoSPARQL, along with Jena, Tika and Apache SIS. Signed off by mentor: mattmann
Any23 is defined as a Java library, a Web service and a set of command line
tools to extract and validate structured data in RDF format from a variety
of Web documents and markup formats. Any23 is what it is informally named
an RDF Distiller.
A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards
graduation
1. Port Any23 code to ASF infrastructure and update license headers
2. Develop a strong community with organizational diversity and with
strong connections to other relevant ASF communities.
3. At least one Any23 incubating release
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC), Tika PMC, or ASF Board wish/need
to be aware of?
Good news -- Michele Mostarda and Simone Tripodi and Lewis John McGibbney
and others stepped it up and got the code migrated from Google Code over
here to Apache. Thanks guys!
How has the community developed since the last report?
Since the code move from Google Code here to Apache, development traffic
has picked up. No new committers yet though, so we'll need to watch this
going forward.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Any23 was voted into the Incubator by the IPMC on October 1, 2011.
We still need to discuss Paolo Castagna's points regarding the integration
of more of the 'semantic web' projects which exist at Apache. Also, a
number of uses of the project are being realized as Lewis John McGibbney is
trying to figure out a Nutch plugin. Simone Tripodi did a great job of getting
our website up and running. So now we have an Incubator website! And the rest
of the team is starting to discuss on list more. *very* happy about that!
All in all, everything is going well.

Yes, all of the code has been ported from Google Code to the ASF. Thanks to
Daniel Shahaf and Michele Mostarda for leading the charge here.
How has the community developed since the last report?
All ASF karma has been granted on the repository, and we've received a few
JIRA issues, but not from outside the core set of PPMC members as of yet. The
team needs to respond to Paolo Castagna's points regarding RDF frameworks and
collaboration, and will hopefully do so this month.

We have Jenkins CI builds going thanks to Lewis John McGibbney, code up and
running at the ASF thanks to Michele and to Daniel, so we're all set to really
get kicking!

How has the community developed since the last report? Paolo Castagna came onto list and filed some issues ANY23-18, and ANY23-19 suggesting to abstract away the interfaces in Any23 and make it easier to plug in other RDF technologies, and to support RDF-A. Giovanni Tumarello now has his account. How has the project developed since the last report? Any23 was voted into the Incubator by the IPMC on October 1, 2011. All infrastructure has been moved over to Apache. Michele Mostarda posted a suggested set of issues to solve in the 0.7.0 release work in trunk.

How has the community developed since the last report? Everyone has their ASF account set up, except for Giovanni Tumarello (ICLA filed and Chris working on getting account set up). We've already moved our discussions onto the public mailing lists now that they are set up. How has the project developed since the last report? Any23 was voted into the Incubator by the IPMC on October 1, 2011. Software grants from DERI and from FBK have been filed and accepted thanks to Michele Mostarda. There has already been discussion of how to move over JIRA issues and Wiki issues from the Google Code site and the full issues transition was completed on 12/10/2011. Code imports will likely begin soon, and a pointer on the existing Google Code site will point to the ASF Incubator as the new home. Simone has created us a podling status page. Chris filed INFRA-3978 to track JIRA, Wiki and mailing list creation for podling set up. It's all taken care of (thanks Gav).
