Revision (and this as supposed to be a simple case!) == Task & Roles Use agent wants to find one or more URIs for a person whose name is "John Smith" as part of a larger task. == Value/Why A user has assigned an agent the task of finding their personal emails to "John Smith". As part of that process, the agent is going to look up the text name, get any URIs then look these out in a SWEB email archive which relates people/URI to email messages. == Description John Smith has decided has decided to allocate himself a URN to help other people refer to him. (I want to avoid discussing the modeling issues around giving people: its not a URL; other people not called "John Smith" could also have given URIs to a person called "John Smith". Personally in things like FOAF files, it seems to me to be helpful to give oneself a URI to help others refer to you but then and references other people by descriptions). The application queries a LDAP directory of people, which has advertised that it presents the vcard voclabulary. vCards have a property vcard:FN (FN is "Formatted Name" I think) so we want the URIs that are subjects of property vcard:FN and value "John Smith" for property vcard:FN. == Other vCards in RDF [1] Original non-RDF vCard defintion [2] [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/NOTE-vcard-rdf-20010222/ [2] ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2426.txt
