Facebook Linked Data

('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is)
APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING

I would like to bring to subscribers' attention that Facebook now
supports RDF with Linked Data URIs from its Graph API.  The RDF is in
Turtle syntax, and all of the HTTP(S) URIs in the RDF are dereferenceable 
in accordance with httpRange-14.  Please take some time to check it out.

If you have a vanity URL (mine is jesserweaver), you can get RDF about you:

curl -H 'Accept: text/turtle' http://graph.facebook.com/<vanity-url>
curl -H 'Accept: text/turtle' http://graph.facebook.com/jesserweaver
If you don't have a vanity URL but know your Facebook ID, you can use
that instead (which is actually the fundamental method).

curl -H 'Accept: text/turtle' http://graph.facebook.com/<facebook-id>
curl -H 'Accept: text/turtle' http://graph.facebook.com/1340421292
>From there, try dereferencing URIs in the Turtle.  Have fun!
