FOAF Themes, Issues and Lessons
- First widescale deployment of complex RDF in public Web
- Lessons:
- URIs were not enough - identification by description needed
- Data merging - never forget where you found the data!
- Decentralised vocabulary description works! (FOAF extensions: family tree, interests, ratings, addresses, scientific publication, ...)
- Deploying RDFS is like rebuilding a ship while sailing
