Dan Brickley sent me this  most interesting example of the  use  of FOAF.

http://www.ivan-herman.net/Misc/2007/friendlyTalks.html

It struck me that members of the  BO group should perhaps all create
FOAF entries, and include in these all the others. If any one of us
eg  gives a talk, then the above will detect it and make it available to
the rest of us. I am sure the scope is much wider!

Mine for example is 

http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/rzepa/rzepa.xrdf (although its quite old and
not maintained well, yet!!).  I will also have a version at
http://rzepa.net/rzepa.xrdf which may or may not evolve separately
(to express other interests). 

If there are experts in the use of  FOAF listening, please advise us
on eg the best way of maintaining the  FOAF entries, etc. I
suspect much of it can/should be automated.

If we manage a substantial amount of  FOAF, we can perhaps inject
it into the  BO-triple store as a "SPARQL" endpoint.  Who knows
where it might go from there. If even one of us were to cite
Ivan Herman, then the BO RDF graph would share a node with 
eg the W3C, and so onwards and upwards!
