In addition to the previous links, you may be interested by some of my
efforts on implementing ADMS.SW in Debian's PTS [0].

Ultimately, having descriptions in interoperable formats would help
match records in the FSD, corresponding packages in Debian, interlinking
the respective Semantic Web resources, or for instance make sure that
catalogues like JoinUp's catalogue [1] (aimed primarily at Public
Administrations) and the FSD can merge efforts, share data, rather than
reinventing the wheel (provided licensing allows it), etc.

I'd be happy to, but there's already a lot of TODO on Debian and
FusionForge sides for me first... maybe some other volunteer will pop-up
in between ;)
