Foaf-O-Matic - Solving the Identity Problem in the FOAF Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
An issue that is equally arising both from social networks and the Semantic Web is the fact that, without the consistent use of the same identifier for an object across systems, it is unnecessarily hard to perform information integration. We are addressing this issue where both fields intersect, namely in the context of FOAF profiles, which describe the social network of a person with Semantic Web technology. We have developed a new, state-of-the-art web application for the generation of FOAF profiles, which has the integral characteristic of making use of the Okkam Infrastructure. This infrastructure enables the systematic, global use of unique identifiers for entities, and thus aims to solve the identity problem that exists in FOAF today.

Privacy Concerns of FOAF-Based Linked Data
In this position paper, we introduce a potential problem that arises with the emergence of publicly-available, FOAF-based linked data. The problem allows a spammer to send context-aware spam, which has a high clickthrough rate. Unlike online profiles within social networks, FOAF-based structured data provides a more reliable and accessible “food” for spammers and attackers. Current solutions (e...
متن کاملGrowing World Wide Social Network by Bridging Social Portals Using FOAF
Portals providing the 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 as World Wide Social Network. Such network can bring benefits (e.g., by providing useful analysis) only ...
متن کاملD-FOAF: Distributed Identity Management with Access Rights Delegation
Todays WWW consists of more than just information. The WWW provides a large number of services, which often require identification of it’s users. This has lead to the fact that today users have to maintain a large number of different credentials for different websites distributed or shared identification systems are not widely deployed. Furthermore, current authorisation systems require strict ...
متن کاملLinking Social Networks on the Web with FOAF
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 data on the Semantic Web. Many traditional webbased social networks share their members’ information...
متن کاملTowards a Semantic Modeling of Learners for Social Networks
The Friend of a Friend (FOAF) ontology is a vocabulary for mapping social networks. In this paper we propose an extension to FOAF in order to allow it to model learners and their social networks. We analyse FOAF alongside different learner modeling standards and specifications, and based on this analysis we introduce a taxonomy of the different features found in those models. We then compare th...
