About Me

My foaf.rdf

I have just created my FOAF file. I do not fully understand its purpose or uses, but have tried it even so. I must read more about Semantic Web and social networking. For what I have seen so far, they seem pretty fascinating.

Looks like a great spam resource to me...

What purpose is there in FOAF files other than enabling easier mail address harvesting for spammers?

By linking your foaf file to a website that can be accessed by everyone you just doomed the mail accounts of everyone in your list...

Another technology that the web doesn't need; Happy Spamming.....

Fabrice,

I know there is a way to protect email addresses in FOAF files through hashing, but did not find a way to hash all addresses in batch.

Peter,

Do you know any way of hashing FOAF email addresses in batch?

I hashed some at http://www.ldodds.com/foaf/foaf-a-matic.html, but have not find a way to hash all of them in only one step.

For batch (and single) conversions, see http://xml.mfd-consult.dk/foaf/sha1ify/ - but note that it (also) requires well-formed XML, currently your file is missing an XML declaration since it's encoded in iso-8859-1, not UTF-8/UTF-16.

Example (add as first line in file): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

Morten,

Thanks for the tip. I am in a hurry to delivery a new system this month, so I will give it a try as soon as possible.
