That would be interesting, yes, please do. Meanwhile, it seems to me that in general we need a more "grown up" foaf -- one that is less oriented to social networking sites, and more toward general applications (e.g. alternate names rather than just nick name). Either that or a real expansion of BIO (http://vocab.org/bio/0.1/.html) Looking at RDA vocabularies, there is "name of the person" and "variant name of the person" which are exactly what I need. They don't require that the name be in any particular format. RDA also has date of birth and date of death, which foaf does not have (it has birthday, but that's just month and day). So it looks like I could use RDA for those data elements, rather than switch from RDA to BIO. kc -- Karen Coyle [email protected] http://kcoyle.net ph: 1-510-540-7596 m: 1-510-435-8234 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-510-435-8234 end_of_the_skype_highlighting skype: kcoylenet _______________________________________________ Ol-tech mailing list [email protected] http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-tech To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to [email protected]
