Please feel free to re-use anything >we're doing... that document is in the public domain. I'm trying to provide more than just term mappings. MFs have an implicit scoping effect that RDF doesn't know, which means that nested MFs can lead to different triples than stand-alone ones. I'm trying to document stuff like that, and where some community decisions might be helpful. >hCard doesn't map to FOAF completely... not even close. If we tell >people to do this, they'll immediately start pointing out why >Microformats are better than RDFa. "hCard has way more useful properties >than FOAF" - which to the untrained eye, is true. It's RDF, vocabs can be freely combined. I'm using *both* FOAF and vcard/rdf. It can make a lot of sense to ground an hcard2rdf conversion in FOAF, so that you don't have to build complex SPARQL queries when you are writing an address book app that uses both FOAF data and converted hcards. If you are starting from a big set of RDFy vcards, it may make sense to convert incoming FOAF data to vcard/rdf instead. It really depends on the use case.
