Re: Representing vCard Objects in RDF (W3C Member Submission)

There was a thread about that at foaf-dev mailing list in December.

http://lists.foaf-project.org/pipermail/foaf-dev/2009-December/009858.html

Anyway, the "some official standard" should be FOAF in my opinion. This could introduce official way to integrade and distinguish FOAF and vCard.
