I'm just after consulting Pythagoras on this, who pointed out that: (a) FOAF and vCard have the same fields, and (b) there is a W3C endorsed mapping between vCard and RDF [1] Thus, if POWDER/XML uses wdr: versions of the elements in [1], POWDER/XML attributions can be easily turned in FOAF/RDF, vCard/RDF or vCard files, all very interesting and opening many possibilities for integration with other pieces of software (PIM, email agents, etc.) Futhermore, the POWDER-S semantics could be using the vocab in [1] effectively to speak about FOAF things, circumventing the lack of a standardization body behind FOAF. If that's not attractive, NCSR favours any of the solutions allowing a POWDER authoring tool to write out FOAF, like: (a) leaving everything as it stands, (b) permiting either of dcterms:creator or foaf:maker Best, s [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/vcard-rdf On Wed Jul 9 08:00:50 2008 Phil Archer said: > Aha!
