All the Perl that's Practical to Extract and Report

Gedcom and FOAF

LTjake on 2003-10-23T11:27:44

I've added a new feature to the Gedcom app. Each user's data can be exported as a FOAF (RDF/XML) file.

Example.

There isn't much in the way of user data exported (yet), but the neat part is the relationship vocab used. Eric has put together a small, but useful set of terms detailing relationships. This allows me to enhance foaf:Knows to show that person X is the parent of person Y, etc.

My hope is to use the foafnaut source to create neat interactive family-tree diagrams.

Awesome idea :-) I wish that use.perl could output foaf.

Yeah!

You might find this wiki entry, and this vocab interesting...

Hi,

You might want to try out the RDF Validator - http://www.w3.org/RDF/Validator/

The relationship statements should be placed inside a Person element.

Oops, that file is old and has been removed now (late, i know...) :)
