FOAF additions

Feb 28, 2004 10:59

Alright, I'm putting together updates to the FOAF information for the next version. I can't make any promises as to when it will go in, live, or even be passed onto a developer - this is a very rough draft of changes that I'm working on making.

Let me know if there's anything I missed.

Additions:

vocabularies, PPD, nodeID, location, userpic, keywords )

One thing that bugs me about these things being auto-generated is multiple journals.

I have three that I use for different purposes. One friend has, um, six, I think. And the fact that I get to read certain ones indicates that she trusts me more than other people; I have access to her middling-locked spiritual ponderings journal, and her very-locked bitchy scream-in-a-hole journal. Similarly, I think it's obvious that I have more inherent trust in the dozen or so people who can read my rarely-updated and very-friends-only sexual fantasies journal.

And I wonder if there should be some way for LJ to say that all of these journals are the same person. And even to say that 'anyone who can read THIS journal is definitely a Trusted Friend, not just Someone-I-Read'. (Though, to be honest, I'm still pretty unclear on exactly what a FOAF file is really supposed to be about. There's some assumption underlying a lot of these Social Networking Tools that I'm just not feeling the shape of.)

Okay, yes, you could just say 'host your own damn FOAF file', but that's just spreading the confusion out to the users.
