KjetilK: Fairly limited in scope, not a complete vCard->RDF solution, just the knows records, based on the idea that people know the people in their addressbooks
KjetilK: This release will also install a script that can be used to create files from the command line
libby: sample foaf output
libby: looks great!
 
karlUshi: "This data sounds so like the kind of triple-graph which is the core of RDF that I felt obliged to go and see whether I shouldn't be using it in some way. And, once again, I come away confused and frustrated. Not with the basic concepts of RDF, but with how I can engage with this thing to solve my problem."
karlUshi: "And yet, there's a great mismatch between what they offer and what I want."
 
karlUshi: "Scott has to sift through nine inadequate XML-based alternatives, from OPML to IMS Enterprise, before concluding that the RDF-based FOAF vocabulary is probably the best foundation for this work. This is a waste of time. "
karlUshi: "On the other hand, there's also a price to be paid for not using RDF"
 
karlUshi: FOAF is not what he/she is looking for.
chimezie: An alternative: Fragment of the Wordnet vocabulary for Organization.
 
libby: I could do with more of this stuff - especially suggestions on how to really really scale it up - 100 X or 1000 current sizes
dajobe: there's a workshop about that - SSWS 2005 - mentioned in the page, swh is presenting as well as tucana
swh: Program is here: http://swat.cse.lehigh.edu/workshops/ssws/22243.html
