Re: Where has the FOAF spec gone ?

Thanks Dan and Georg,
The latest version is a lot cleaner than I recall.

However what I was really looking for was a more formal/transparent process for managing the ontology going forward e.g. via a GitHub repository, so people could raise and track issues and see them resolved in a new version.
For example, the provision of only firstName and lastName, though it reflects most IT systems in the US, is pretty Anglo-centric and does not even encompass Portuguese naming.
And the social media/chat IDs are pretty outmoded - MSN Chat, Yahoo Chat etc. and no Twitter, Mastodon, TikTok, Discord etc. Or LinkTree.
My new company, Golden, manages an open, crowd-sourced Knowledge Graph (see https://golden.com) with several such properties driven by community demand https://dapp.golden.xyz/schema?template=0c4e6054-5fd8-48a8-817c-f6611278f755 and being able to provide our triples as FOAF could be of interest.

Regards,
Pete

Dear Peter,

regarding FOAF: the company Field 33 provides an Open Source registry called Plow which hosts a mirror of FOAF (and various other ontologies):

https://registry.field33.com/field/@foaf_mirror/foaf/0.99.0

Plow is an ontology registry and package manager that provides version resolution and dependency management.

Daniel had posted the link back in December but due to changes in the backend the link didn’t work, but now it does (again).

All the best,
Georg

What's the chance of getting some (semi-formal) governance over this widely-used spec, e.g. ability to raise issues, agree changes, release new versions etc. ?
Immediate aim IMO would be to get rid of dead external links (not sure if they're still in the latest) - which actually constitute a security risk (if someone buys up those domains and installs something malicious).

I'd be happy to help

Regards
Pete
