someone mentioned nepomuk, so these are the ontologies in use at dev.nepomuk.semanticdesktop.org and partly at nepomuk.kde.org: the contact ontology: http://www.semanticdesktop.org/ontologies/nco/ there is open source tool support, such as a vcard->nco converter and a Microsoft Outlook crawler: http://aperture.sourceforge.net misses some documentation and examples though, but the update and maintenance process is there, we also aim at sustainability, NOKIA uses part of this ontology for the maemo platform. best Leo It was Peter Mika who said at the right time 06.05.2009 13:43 the following words: > Hi Martin, > > This issue came up at VoCamp in Galway, and we decided to settle it in > general by trying to agree on the mappings of microformats to RDF: > > http://semanticweb.org/wiki/Microformats_in_RDF > > At least Sindice and our crawler support now the same mappings for the > majority of microformats. > > For the specific case of VCard: > > http://semanticweb.org/wiki/HCard > > We agreed that the proposal for Representing VCard in RDF > <http://www.w3.org/TR/vcard-rdf> by Renato Iannella is NOW DEPRECATED. > The canonical representation of VCard in RDF > <http://www.w3.org/2006/vcard/ns#> is also hosted at W3C and > maintained by Harry Halpin and Norm Walsh. > > Unfortunately, W3C still has to take the actual step of deprecating > (or even better, moving to archive) the old note. > > And again unfortunately, it's the state of the art in the Semantic Web > that people use vocabularies that rank highest in their favorite > search engine.
