The Friend of a Friend (FOAF) project is creating a Web of
machine-readable pages describing people, the links between them and the
things they create and do; it is a contribution to the linked
information system known as the Web. FOAF defines an open, decentralized
technology for connecting social Web sites, and the people they
describe. [more...]
FOAF is part of a shift towards a Web where we can choose the sites and
tools we like, without being cut off from friends who made different
choices. FOAF lets you share and inter-connect information from diverse
sources, move it around, and use it in unexpected new ways. [more...]
You can read about how it all works or create a FOAF file to upload.
Less technical readers can learn about projects using FOAF. Or simply
use some Web sites that publish FOAF for their users. [more...]
"There are two kinds of people in the world, those who believe there are
two kinds of people in the world and those who don't."
