Because the ACS meeting where Henry will present something about FOAF in chemistry,\nis nearing very fast now (here’s the first blog it this series ),\nit becomes urgent to beef up the Blue Obelisk FOAF network, now consisting of\n7 members. All do now show up in\nthe FOAFExplorer:

Now, to make sure that my FOAF is in order, I set up the regular XML/RDF toolchain, using xmllint to validate the XML and\nRDF syntax, and XSLT to convert the FOAF to human readable HTML.\nUsing the ?xml-stylesheet? syntax this also provide the basic HTML GUI when accessing\nthe FOAF file using Firefox. BTW, I had to rename the file to\nmake the SourceForge web server aware that the file is an XML file, so that it nicely sets the MIME type.

\n\n

BTW, I suggest all to validate your FOAF with this RDF validator, because some of\nus got some work to do to make them valid:

\n\n\n\n

The others are actually fine.

\n\n

While the XSLT is getting along quite nicely, I got serious other work to do. The Strigi-based\nFOAF indexer is sort of working, gets FOAF documents recursively, but I want it to index our publications and presentation\nslides too. Now, FOAF has a foaf:publications tag, which I thought might be suited. But after chatting with (new)\nfriends on the #foaf IRC channel (the log), it became clear that the\nscope of that element is to point to some other file (foaf:Document) which lists the publications, such a HTML output\ncreated from BibTeX.

\n\n

That is, the following syntax is not quite what appears to be intended:

\n\n
<foaf:publications>\n  <foaf:Document rdf:about=\"http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1471-2105-8-59\">\n    <dc:title>Bioclipse: an open source workbench for chemo-\n      and bioinformatics</dc:title>\n    <dc:author rdf:resource=\"#me\"/>\n  </foaf:Document>\n
\n\n

The Bibliontology was suggested and seem a rather good candidate to draft a separate\nbut RDF/OWL-based publication list. The server was down at the time of writing, but the Google cache showed the\nscope nicely. The Google group is active\nand the server should go back online shortly.

\n\n

OK, enough for now. More will follow in this series shortly. Such as a HTML GUI for\nmy publication list in Bibliontology format.
