Describe a Person in RDF

(Voor de Nederlandse versie klik hier)
The idea of the Semantic Web is to annotate objects with a shared vocabulary.
When we want to annotate a Person object, we should find the right vocabulary.

A very popular vocabulary is called FOAF (Friend of a Friend).

First we will give some examples. Later some tools are shown to make your own Person in RDF.

Examples:
Some simple examples can be found on

More advanced examples can be found on the same website:
