ABSTRACT Linking Social Networks on the Web with FOAF

by Jennifer Golbeck
"... One of the core goals of the Semantic Web is to store data in distributed locations, and use ontologies and reasoning to aggregate it. Social networking is a large movement on the web, and social networking data using the Friend of a Friend (FOAF) vocabulary makes up a significant portion of all dat ..."

Ensuring privacy in FOAF profiles ⋆

by György Frivolt, Mária Bieliková
"... Abstract. Portals providing modeling of social relations among people became more and more popular. Although the existing FOAF (Friend of the Friend) ontology developed for modeling such social relations was introduced and enjoyed popularity, it is not used in such extent that it can be considered a ..."

Learning Meta-Descriptions of the FOAF Network

by Gunnar AAstrand Grimnes, Gunnar Aastr, Pete Edwards, Alun Preece
"... We argue that in a distributed context, such as the Semantic Web, ontology engineers and data creators often cannot control (or even imagine) the possible uses their data or ontologies might have. Therefore ontologies are unlikely to identify every useful or interesting classification possible in ..."

SWARMS: A Domain Exploration Tool and its Application in FOAF Domain

by Liang Bangyong, Tang Jie, Li Juanzi, Wang Kehong
"... In this paper, we present a system called SWARMS, for domain knowledge exploration and its application in the domain of Friend-Of-A-Friend (FOAF). SWARMS provides methods of search, visualization, and analysis to help users browse domain data in visualization views. We collected personal information ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
information from the web, constructed personal network based on the FOAF Ontology. So far, information of more than 30,000 persons and 90,000 papers were gathered. In SWARMS, we try to address semantic search, visualized and navigation, and domain data mining. This paper describes the architecture

A mathematical approach to ontology authoring and documentation. https://svn.omdoc.org/repos/ omdoc/trunk/doc/blue/foaf/note.pdf

by Christoph Lange, Michael Kohlhase , 2008
"... Abstract. The semantic web ontology languages RDFS and OWL are widely used but limited in both their expressivity and their support for modularity and integrated documentation. Expressivity, modularity, and documentation of formal knowledge have always been important issues in the MKM community. The ..."

Ontological Analysis of Human Relations for Semantically Consistent Transformations of FOAF Data

by Miroslav Vacura, Vojtěch Svátek
"... Abstract. The FOAF project has prominent importance for capturing human relations in Linked Data. We analyze the FOAF data structures and their extensions from the point of view of formal ontology and discuss problems inherent in its design. We also point out necessary considerations for transformin ..."

Foafing the music: Bridging the semantic gap in music recommendation

by Òscar Celma - Proceedings of the 5th International Semantic Web Conference , 2006
"... Abstract. In this paper we give an overview of the Foafing the Music system. The system uses the Friend of a Friend (FOAF) and RDF Site Summary (RSS) vocabularies for recommending music to a user, depending on the user’s musical tastes and listening habits. Music information (new album releases, pod ..."

How the semantic web is being used: An analysis of foaf documents

by Li Ding, Lina Zhou, Tim Finin, Anupam Joshi - In Proceedings of the 38th International Conference on System Sciences , 2005
"... Abstract — Semantic Web researchers have initially focused on the representation, development and use of ontologies but paid less attention to the social and structural relationships involved. The past year has seen a dramatic increase in the amount of published RDF documents using the Friend of a F ..."

A.: Social Networking on the Semantic Web

by Tim Finin, Li Ding, Lina Zhou, Anupam Joshi - The Learning Organisation , 2005
"... Purpose – Aims to investigate the way that the semantic web is being used to represent and process social network information. Design/methodology/approach – The Swoogle semantic web search engine was used to construct several large data sets of Resource Description Framework (RDF) documents with soc ..."

with social network information that were encoded using the “Friend of a Friend ” (FOAF) ontology. The datasets were analyzed to discover how FOAF is being used and investigate the kinds of social networks found on the web. Findings – The FOAF ontology is the most widely used domain ontology on the semantic
