It's probably quite important to define various relation classes for the aggregated properties we tend to relate to a person. I would imagine this comes under standard upper ontologies. It would necessarily need to include definitions of FOAF and vCard so that we could classify across current data

In developing SPE ontology, I have tried to re-use FOAF and vCard, but unfortunately found little can can be re-used. One main reason is that, although they may have the terms, the definitions of these terms usually don't match what's required by the Person class in SPE ontology. The problem mostly
