#foaf — Public Fediverse posts

@orsinium I know, they stole email from us claiming to combat spam and somehow there is still spam

==Email==

Maybe I only need to receive email over SMTP.

Otherwise email transfer using NNCP with known-trusted-hosts of friends and family?

Perhaps #FOAF even?

Perhaps as part of NNCPNET?

Maybe (text-only) #USENET also via NNCP?

Edit: bc I just found #NNCP and #NNCPNET and think this could be a solution

==Webdev==

I can use #RubyOnRails as needed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@malarkey only if you add me to your blogroll #FOAF

Circles #etc #google #facebook #twitter #socialgraph #opengraph #opensocial #foaf #xup #altly #diaspora #buzz #wave Did the Google+ Circles concept revolutionize social networking, and what we should have instead.

🆕 Introducing four new "RDF Vocabularies on Elixir" projects:

- SKOS.ex
- FOAF.ex
- PROV.ex
- DCAT.ex

These provide Grax schemas for all classes of the respective RDF vocabularies, so you can easily load RDF graph data into Elixir structures or create them from scratch.

Find all projects here: https://github.com/rdf-elixir

Dan Bri and Libby Miller created a specification called FOAF http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec; latest version is almost a decade old. Remembering using it and thinking it was a great and easy way to ride on top of html and let the spiders and indexers build a graph that could be traversed db style. It really is a solid basis to build on what we should have referenced as Web3 back then. Many of the semantics could easily fit right into ActivityPub https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/ and with a trust algorithm you essentially have a real basis for what is Web3 as explained without a middle man, fees, protocols that aren’t distributed and etc. Need to think about it more, I’m sure it breaks down somewhere but seeing as you can keep existing protocols without major modification while ensuring security through trust metrics and possibly even taking it all the way down to the likes of standard system libs, could be something worth investigating. Wonder why Dan and Libby stopped? 🤔#foafstodon #foaf #web3 #distributedsystems

@Edent @trwnh
OGP is based on #RDF.
Just use community driven, tested and proven vocabularies like #FOAF

@burningbird @AKMA @anildash @davew Do they serve a purpose? Well, they would for some people in some instances. But especially if they were programmatically accessible someone might figure out how to use them to create loose, asymmetrical social networks of a different sort. #ForlornHopes #FOAF #DanBrickley #LibbyMiller

oh no

@janmartinkeil It was more a high level overview of this field, this event is to network with other fields to exchange knowledge and ideas.

Regarding your points (my view):

Ontologies are more like the description of how the data is modeled. For example, the ontology #FOAF says `foaf:Person` is a Person. While the #KnowledgeGraph (KG) will have `<Dylan> rdf:type foaf:Person` to say that I'm a person modeled according to the FOAF ontology. The data in the KG is modeled after the ontology.

Just opened a discussion about #RDF on the #Phlex GitHub if folks want to have a look.

@judeswae @kfleerko @mfowler @mheiber

#semanticWeb and #FOAF, the ability to connect to a data mesh a layer of people, org structure and roles, etc.

Imagine I push out a new design or idea and what to start gathering feedback on it asap

@martinmcwhorter Yea, that kind of ad is not going to work here.

For intranet, this is however a place you can possibly build on top of the API services too, and build a way to have linked conversations over topics that people can find - in big, siloed businesses that could be a benefit.

Slack, Teams, etc are not great - they still create too many silos.

Here I'm seeing #FOAF and other #ontologies at play.

@dada -> #FOAF

Murmurations is a kind of FOAF for community projects, allowing them to share and update info about themselves on their own website (POSSE), which can then be drawn on by any index, map, or aggregator that speaks the standard. It uses JSON files and is built on existing protocols like RSS.

#FOAF #POSSE #JSON #RSS

I liked their model of relating identities on different platforms to each other.

Are there a more open alternative that do something similar?

I remember #FOAF being a thing in the past, did that go anywhere? Or did it get replaced with something else?

"#FOAF allows a group of friends to represent their real-life social graph digitally by hosting FOAF documents on their own homepages. It allows them to do this without surrendering control of their data to a centralized database in the sky run by a billionaire android-man who spends much of his time apologizing before congressional committees."

I remember the #FOAF standard. The ideas were right. https://twobithistory.org/2020/01/05/foaf.html
