FOAF Activity
Lost Boy: FOAF Activity
Lots of interesting FOAF activity lately, seemingly spurred on by the ETech presentations.
One thing I'm afraid of w/ FOAF adoption is the same trap RSS 1.0 fell into. All the RSS tools I know of treat RSS as XML instead of a RDF model. This is A Bad Thing for using the data as a RDF graph. If FOAF adoption is to really deliver on its promise, it should be used as a RDF model. Treat it like the graph it's meant to be. FOAF is RDF, it just happens to be serialized as XML. Let's not forget how to interact with RDF!
