hReview (guitar) use case

User story then broad-brushstrokes application description:

"Stephan wishes to buy a guitar, so decides to check reviews. There
are various special interest publications online which feature musical
instrument reviews. There are also blogs which contain reviews by
individuals. Among the reviewers there may be friends of Stephan,
people whose opinion Stephan values (e.g. well-known musicians and
people whose reviews Stephan has found useful in the past). There may
also reviews planted by instrument manufacturers which offer very
biased views. Stephan visits a site offering a review service and
enters his preference for guitar reviews which gave a high rating for
the instrument. This initial request is answered with a list of all
the relevant review titles/summaries together with information about
the reviewers. From this list Stephan chooses only the reviewers he
trusts, and on submitting these preferences is finally presented with
a set of full reviews which match his criteria."

Reviews published using hReview microformat can be discovered using
existing search services. The documents can be GRDDL'd into RDF and
aggregated together in a store. Information about the reviewers can
also be aggregated from various sources including hCard and XFN
microformats and autodiscovered  FOAF profiles (perhaps also a scutter
from Stephan's own profile). The filtering may be achieved by running
SPARQL queries against the aggregated data, presented to the user
through regular HTML form interfaces.
