Hand-Crafting My FOAF
While at eTech, I attended a number of "social software" sessions. One thing I heard was a persistent call from folk like Marc Canter for all the vendors to support something called FOAF. FOAF is a standard for "Friend of a Friend" files, and is an attempt to make machine readable information about people, groups, companies, and other online resources. In particular, it is focused on representing the information that you might typically put on your personal home page in a form such that meta-data tools can interpret it.
FOAF-a-matic ist eine einfache Javascript Anwendung, die eine FOAF ("Friend-of-A-Friend" = Freund eines Freundes) Beschreibung von dir erstellt. Mehr zu FOAF findest du in Edd Dumbills Artikel "XML Watch: Finding friends with XML and RDF" (Freunde finden mit XML und RDF), auf der FOAF Homepage der RDFWeb Webseite oder auch in der FOAF Vokabular Beschreibung.
