RE: Some FOAF services

Hi Mischa,
very nice services. It would be very interesting to look up for person using their URI (with slashes or 303 redirect) instead of the URL of a foaf file or emails. One question: what about when I want to update a foaf file ? It is not clear how your ping service works. If I change my foaf file I have simply to wait for the service to look up it or I have to notify it by submitting the file URL again ?

Cheers


Luigi

> 3. FOAF Social Verification [3]: This allows you to make use of the

> 
> 4. FOAF Viewer: You can also use our GUI [5]  to visual your foaf

> http://foaf.qdos.com/find/?q=http%3A%2F%2Fplugin.org.uk
> 
> 5. FOAF pinger: And finally, If we dont have your foaf file in our KB,
