I appreciate the interesting discussion although I do appologize for not having sufficient time to keep up with the thread. I think we all have some motion toward a less constraining Person construct with the ability to have more detail (phone number, alternate e-mails, or whatever). Having spe

Oh. I should have mentioned how I see this being able to relate to vcards. There is an rdf ontology for vcards on SchemaWeb [1]. It is a little odd because it assigns names, addresses and other properties to vcards instead of to people. But it would be easy to add a property from a foaf:Person t

I think that the simplicity of atom:Person is fine. I have not checked this out carefully, but it should be possible to map it quite easily to foaf:Agent[1]. If one specified the following mappings: - atom:Person is a subclass of foaf:Agent - atom:uri is a super property of foaf:weblog

I was just looking closely at the atom:Person class [1] and found some pretty arbitrary limitations: - why should a Person only have one e-mail address? - why should a Person only have one associated url? It seems to me that one should follow the principle: only impose limitations that are
