mdupont: currently it is only an interface
danbri: Interesting. I like the idea of exposing getters and setters for person records this way (though I'd use SOAP instead of XML-RPC). I am concerned you'll have a maintainance nightmare on your hands, if you have to shadow each FOAF property with a web service method name. How about pushing the property into a parameter?
danbri: Ie. I might call setRepeatableProperty( http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/weblog, some-value)
danbri: Or setFunctionalProperty( http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/dateOfBirth, some-value) for properties that can only take a single value
danbri: This would also allow non-FOAF properties to be set, in theory at least. All of this being for the simple/flat case of a string or URI-valued property. For fancier models, it gets fiddly...
mdupont: is now updated to take the uri of the foaf to update as the first parameter of the faof webservice
 
 
danbri: " There are some really cool features in the product at launch. RSS support will be in 1.0, along with a bunch of other stuff that I?m not going to tell you about. Ok, I?ll tell you one? you can send an IM to a bot and have it post to your blog with rich text support and other cool stuff (like add titles, etc). "
danbri: "That really blew a couple people away, even though I know bloggerbot kind of did the same thing in a limited (as I remember, flakey). How cool is that?"
danbri: Chumping goes mainstream...
 
danbri: I did this a couple years ago, talking to Daniel Veillard. I don't think anything happened to use it. Not sure RPMFind still uses this format at all now...
