Friend of a Friend: FOAF

Jan 20, 2010 misc-web
This post is more than 18 months old. Since technology changes too rapidly, this content may be out of date (but that's not always the case). Please remember to verify any technical or programming information with the current release.

So I added my own FOAF link on my home page.

For those who aren’t familiar, Friend of a Friend is a protocol defined to help machines read relationships between entities (persons) on the internet. The relationships are set up in RDF file. (Mine is severely limited - either I have no friends - or am just lazy - you tell me!) For more info, check out http://www.foaf-project.org/.

By far, the best library I’ve found for parsing FOAF files is located here: http://gna.org/projects/phoaf
