FOAF Problem

Sleepy

Not sure if this is my machine or an error on the server but whenever I click on a FOAF link I get the following:

- <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:rdfs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#" xmlns:foaf="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/">

You n00b.

Have you never clicked that link before?

That's what's supposed to happen

Sleepy

Did it not used to give a graphical representation of that?

FOAF is an RDF format. It is up to the client browser (or whatever) to render it. I was planning on creating a plugin for firefox which will make it somewhat readable. But there is no ETA on this. It might that one already now exists.

You can get more information about it here..

I was sure I'd seen a cool spidery sort of graphical web app on here before that let you follow the chain of boards users. Was I dreaming or did someone put this on-line at some stage?

Indeed you did.

Cloud showed us the purpose of the FOAF page before, it's on that foaf-project site afaik (though I couldn't find it just now).

linky:

http://www.foafspace.com/graph/view?<insert web address from FOAF>

example : seamus

seamus FOAF -> http://www.boards.ie/network/foaf.php?u=4091


http://www.foafspace.com/graph/view?http://www.boards.ie/network/foaf.php?u=4091

Sleepy

Surely it'd make sense for the FOAF link to include the "http://www.foafspace.com/graph/view?&quot; rather than just popping up a screen of unintelligible code then?

seamus

Well, that graph isn't the only thing you can do with it. The whole point of the FOAF link and the entire FOAF system is that it's an XML feed, so anyone can write programs, scripts, whatever, to interpret the data as thay see fit.
