The RDFauthor project [1] evaluates relations from RDF resources
(described with RDFa inside HTML pages) to discover update and query
endpoints. The vocabulary is described at [2] and a relevant publication
is available at [3].

While RDFauthor queries the RDFa page graph for an endpoint, the mobile
social semantic web client (an foaf android app here [4]) queries
endpoints for an WebID and use the information to create new friends
links from your mobile phone.

The update vocab itself is not stable and we still look for a better
alternative in these projects but it works for us :)
