FOAF and the Web
FOAF is a linked information system, built on top of the World Wide Web.
FOAF documents are, in essence, machine-readable Web pages. The FOAF technical specification defines the core concepts at the heart of FOAF: terms such as 'homepage', 'name', 'gender', that can be used to make simple claims about the world from within a FOAF document.
See also the developer links in the sidebar this page. FOAF-related news, articles and discussion can be found here at www.foaf-project.org, as well as on the FOAF mailing list (rdfweb-dev), and in our IRC and Wiki forums. The www.foaf-project.org site is intended for FOAF users, while rdfweb.org is for people more involved in the project and the technology. If you have questions about FOAF that aren't answered in the FAQ, feel free to ask in irc or on rdfweb-dev.
