Am happy you think so :)
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%23ior 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 activity4. 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.ukAre 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/ ).
I do like your blog post, and yes using FOAF to pre-populate social network is definitely interesting.
Regarding the 1/ reversesearch, or forward search, you can now find it here [1] :). I always thought that one could grab the links out from a foaf file by visiting the foaf:Document URI, but I do see the benefit as releasing it as a "forward search" api. Ours works with either an IFP or a foaf:Person URI. I guess this makes our facility similar to that of the google SocialGraph API, but with an RDF flavour.

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 [1] http://foaf.qdos.com/validator/ [2] http://foaf.qdos.com/reverse [3] http://foaf.qdos.com/verify-demo & http://foaf.qdos.com/verify-about [4] http://foaf.qdos.com/find/ [5] http://foaf.qdos.com/ping ___________________________________ Mischa Tuffield Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage - http://mmt.me.uk/ FOAF - http://mmt.me.uk/foaf.rdfLibby
