we're going to need this kind of functionality as we're starting to architect an app that will be a kind of hybrid between a directory listing and ryze/linkedin, so we're going to need the ability to do the foaf/node links. we were actually hoping that someone had already produced a kind of 'open source' algorithm describing/explaining/demonstrating how this process can be implemented!!!

Cool. Let us know if you find something interesting. Are you planning to allow different colors for the edges (relationship types) ?
