My research project is about implementing a digital identity verification model. I'm really interested in using foaf networks as the data-source to implement my model and I consider entity disambiguation as a sub-module in my system. I have submitted a proposal&lt;https://google-melange.appspot.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2013/dileepaj/1#&gt;to Apache Stanbol as a GSOC project to develop an entity disambiguation engine using foaf co-reference techniques. For this project I need an up-to-date foaf datasource. The link at foaf wiki site : http://wiki.foaf-project.org/w/DataSources suggests several datasources but it seems most of them are obsolete. Can I please get some pointers to up-to-date foaf datasources which I can use for my project? I also appreciate your ideas about using foaf as a mechanism for entity disambiguation over the web. Thanks, Dileepa __________________________________________</pre> Dileepa Jayakody 2013-05-08T06:02:40 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.rdfweb/4272 <pre>an agent is something that does stuff but an agent can also have an account that does things, e.g. sends alerts or pays bills is there an argument to say that there could be an overlap between an account and an agent? _______________________________________________ foaf-dev mailing list foaf-dev-RyYwo1q5J+qsOXdr9/+iASST3g8Odh+X&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org http://lists.foaf-project.org/mailman/listinfo/foaf-dev</pre> Melvin Carvalho 2013-03-29T12:21:03 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.rdfweb/4268 <pre>I guess most people have heard already, but for those who haven't...

Today I think I did that, making webid interesting again. Could some windows programmer type confirm the result? All one has to do is run a std sample (just the right one). </pre> Peter Williams 2012-11-12T19:46:54 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.rdfweb/4261 <pre>Hi, I saw the thread at http://lists.foaf-project.org/pipermail/foaf-dev/2012-June/010856.html in which there was a call for features for an upcoming revision, and I was wondering if it would be possible to create an orcidid property - similar to openid, but refering to http://about.orcid.org.

Why is this important? It showcases how the combination of Web Architecture and PKI address the important (but thorny) issue of Web-scale verifiable identity. Put differently, WebID is a powerful showcase of Linked Data virtues and its boundless utility.

(continuing the original thread as a sideline) Any idea what the situation is with G+? There are various curated circles, but not sure if there are APIs yet that give you links to wikipedia/freebase and so on. Wikidata - maybe. The core team don't want to "do content" at any level, including imposing a type hierarchy. But they could collect IDs even if the page template machinery doesn't pull them all into the viewable pages... </pre> Dan Brickley 2012-05-31T01:00:26 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.rdfweb/4210 <pre>Hello! I've been planning to publish mappings from BBC programmes to their social media accounts on Facebook / Twitter / etc The easiest way would be to use foaf:Agent and foaf:account and say the foaf:Agent is same as po:Programme Can a programme be an agent? Would declaring same as break anything horribly? Or is there a neater way to do this?

Does it work? if it works, what should I do that could connect the two ontologies together? Any reply from you will be appreciated!
