> **Clarify what is `pkg:about` PURL**
> I recently came across `pkg:about/sourceforge/rdf-filter@1.0alpha` and a few other such PURLs in a ScanCode.io scan.
>
> The further info in ScanCode.io’s webUI says:
>
> > Homepage URL
> >
> > https://rdf-filter.sourceforge.net/
> >
> > Download URL

> > https://master.dl.sourceforge.net/project/rdf-filter/rdf-filter/RDF%20Filter%201.0alpha/rdffilter-1.0alpha.zip?viasf=1

> But I still can’t figure out what `pkg:about` is.
