Hello,
Am mailing round to announce some FOAF related services Garlik are
hosting at foaf.qdos.com.
Very cool stuff.
1. FOAF Validator[1]: We have put together a page which can be used
to validate foaf documents. We put this together based on common
errors we found in FOAF documents online. Any suggestions for
further tests are welcomed.
2. FOAF Reverse Search[2]: This service outputs foaf:knows
relationships from our KB stating who claims to know the
foaf:Person in question. You can present the service with either a
foaf:Person URI like so:
http://foaf.qdos.com/reverse/?path=http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-
Lee/card%23i
or you can search for an Inverse Function Property (IFP) if the
foaf:Person URI is not known for example, you can find who claims
to know the foaf:Person with the following homepage: http://
plugin.org.uk/
like so (notice the inclusion of the GET argument ifp):
http://foaf.qdos.com/reverse/?path=http://plugin.org.uk/&ifp=
Given the decentralised nature of foaf data, this allows data to be
presented regarding who claims to know a foaf:Person.
3. FOAF Social Verification [3]: This allows you to make use of the
foaf social network to act as a whitelist for blog, email, and
other online activity
4. FOAF Viewer: You can also use our GUI [5] to visual your foaf
network. For example, see Steve's foaf file here :
http://foaf.qdos.com/find/?q=http%3A%2F%2Fplugin.org.uk
Are there any plans to offer this service as RDF? (i.e. a non-reverse
lookup, similar to what google social graph offers?). I've been
looking at some options for using foaf to pre-populate social sites
which could use something like this (http://planb.nicecupoftea.org/
2008/11/18/foaf-slurper/).
5. FOAF pinger: And finally, If we dont have your foaf file in our
KB, you can use our ping [4] service to upload your foaf:Document
to our KB so that you can make use of our services.
Any thoughts/suggestions welcomed,
Mischa
