Dear all,

we would need some feedback...

There were some brainstorming on what vocabularies to use for the simple
notion of 'Person' in various settings. There is old W3C note for an RDF
version of vCard[1], but another version was created by Norm Walsh a
while ago[2]. And, of course, there is FOAF.

The issue came up because some people would like us to update the old
[1] note but, if we want to do that seriously, it is not necessarily
that easy (the vCard spec itself is not soooo o.k.).

Hence the question as a feedback: what does the HCLS community use for
something like 'Person'?

Thanks for the feedback

Ivan
