Is that a quality of my-profile.eu? That, to me, seems like you are describing FOAF in Linked Data... right? In that case I don't understand what that site has to do with it, other than confusing people with an ambiguously purposed (and not explained) profile-ish site. To new-comers the whole thing is confusing and obtuse IMO. I'm not sure what the 'project' is for that site. Just playing devils advocate a bit
