Friend of a Friend - FOAF

The FOAF framework is an implementation of RDF that allows you to define information about yourself and who you know. It generates machine-readable modelling of social networks.
FOAF Vocabulary Specification
This is the current specification for the FOAF vocabulary. It relies heavily on RDF.
The FOAF Project
This is the homepage of the FOAF project where you can get information about FOAF, including what it is and how to use it.
FOAF-a-Matic
Create a FOAF description of yourself.
FOAF Explorer
While FOAF networks are intended to be machine readable and not necessarily human readable, this browser will allow you to surf FOAF networks as though they were Web pages.
