[foaf-dev] Some Questions about FOAF

Hello FOAFERS! (Sorry my bad english)

1) Exist a foaf vocabulary for communities? 

2) How use the "knows" subclasses? 

3) How to represent a relation between Member a Community? (Example, this "X" Person is a owner of "Y"
Community and Member of a "Z" Community). Exist a "owner" and "member" relations in foaf?

4) Anyone use FOAF with Jena?

5) Exists some project (open-source) like SIOC that demostrate in practice how FOAF is used?

Thanks a lot my friends! =D

Hello Jair,

In case you mean communities as common, there is SIOC to work with them.

> 2) How use the "knows" subclasses?

You can use either foaf:knows:

?person foaf:knows ?otherPerson .

or use directly subclasses:

?person rel:friendOf ?otherPerson .

What more you need to handle?

> 3) How to represent a relation between Member a Community? (Example, this "X" Person is a owner of "Y"
Community and Member of a "Z" Community). Exist a "owner" and "member" relations in foaf?

In FOAF there is just relation "member". You need to search (or create) more precise relation properties
for groups/organizations.

For "has member" use such triple

?group foaf:member ?person .

>Hello FOAFERS! (Sorry my bad english)

Hi! No problem!

>1) Exist a foaf vocabulary for communities?

Yeah, that's really the SIOC vocabulary. FOAF and SIOC go very well along 
togehter.

>2) How use the "knows" subclasses?

They are really subproperties, not quite the same thing, but you just use them 
and hope that something recognises it. If the new property paths feature of 
SPARQL goes in, it will be really easy.

>4) Anyone use FOAF with Jena?

Yeah, we did that in a project at my previous job. It is not different from any 
other framework.

>5) Exists some project (open-source) like SIOC that demostrate in practice

I'll recommend having a look at http://knowee.org/ . It uses FOAF, but I have 
not gotten around to install it myself.

[foaf-dev] works relation

There are people in foaf, and companies. But there is no way to say that a person works in a company it seems.
What should one do there?

All,

See: http://vocab.org/relationship/.html

Its linked to FOAF.

This ontology saved me a ton of time when trying to verify some reasoner 
enhancements to Virtuoso re:
owl:SymmetricalProperty, owl:TransitiveProperty, and owl:inverseOf.

Naturally, while working on this, I couldn't stop thinking about Data 
Access policies and FOAF+SSL :-)

yes, except that this ontology is pretty crap.

Don't get me wrong. I like the names of all those relations, but until they are a bit surer they should remove
any of the relations that have entailment consequences. But they seem completely unresponsive to
feedback, as far as I can see... So they should be avoided.
