ODU CS 751/851 Spring 2011 Michael L. Nelson Friend of a Friend FOAF -- currently, probably the most widespread application of RDF – The next several examples taken from Edd Dumbill's "Finding Friends with XML and RDF" – rary/x-foaf.htmlhttp:// rary/x-foaf.html

ODU CS 751/851 Spring 2011 Michael L. Nelson Xhtml Friends Network FOAF is either done with separate RDF files, or integrated into the HTML with RDFa with and tags XFN is a simpler, albeit lower fidelity approach to the same thing by using the "rel" attribute in or elements –next several examples from: –an example of "microformats" -- the bottom-up contrast to RDF

ODU CS 751/851 Spring 2011 Michael L. Nelson XFN Example from: David wrote about a new theory... to: <a rel="colleague met" href=" David wrote about a new theory... In HTML, rel can take multiple space separate values. In Atom, rel can only take a single value.

ODU CS 751/851 Spring 2011 Michael L. Nelson More Precision David wrote about a new theory...

ODU CS 751/851 Spring 2011 Michael L. Nelson 18 Different rel Types… perhaps the most interesting: rel="me" useful for linking to other versions of "me" at different sites…

ODU CS 751/851 Spring 2011 Michael L. Nelson Google Social Graph API What kind of services can we build on the various FOAF & XFN links out there? Google Social Graph – –next several examples taken from the above website See also Yahoo's SearchMonkey – e/profile_vocab.htmlhttp://developer.yahoo.com/searchmonkey/smguid e/profile_vocab.html

ODU CS 751/851 Spring 2011 Michael L. Nelson Mining me links XFN rel="me" links FOAF converted to me : –elements: weblog, homepage, openid, mbox_sha1sum –links:.html to.rdf others: –foaf:knows --> xfn:contact –more info: es.html es.html

ODU CS 751/851 Spring 2011 Michael L. Nelson The Social Graph API ? & & Where the possible methods are: lookup: low-level access to the graph. otherme: given one or more of a person's identifiers (e.g. URLs), return other identifiers for that person. testparse: test your site's XFN or FOAF to see what the Social Graph API's parsers find in it
