 XML Watch: Finding friends with XML and RDF
FOAF allows the expression of personal information and relationships, and is a useful building block for creating information systems that support online communities.
The FOAF vocabulary, originated by Dan Brickley and Libby Miller, gives a basic expression for community membership: describing people and their basic properties such as name, e-mail address, and so on.

 Friend of a friend - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Foo Fighters song, see Friend of a Friend (song).
Friend of a friend (FOAF) is a phrase used to refer to someone that one does not know well — literally, a friend of a friend.
In some social sciences, the phrase is used as a half-joking shorthand for the fact that much of the information on which people act comes from distant sources (as in "It happened to a friend of a friend of mine") and cannot be confirmed.

Some of my friends are badgering me to write for some of the magazines, and I am almost tempted to try it, only I am afraid that this would distract my mind from my work more than the distasteful and depressing labor of the mill or of guiding.
You anticipate all the bends and falls and rapids and cascades of my mountain life, and I know that you say truly about my companions being those who live with me in the same sky, whether in reach of hand or only of spiritual contact, which is the most real contact of all.

 Sam Ruby: Friend of a friend
Phil had some problems with the original FOAF file generated for him by the FOAF-o-matic in that it includes blank nodes -- equivalent to a subject-predicate-object (noun-property-value) that doesn't have a specified subject.
He provided his own 'label' to the nodes so that they then wouldn't be blank.
If I decide to have multiple locations and I do want to identify them individually, then I would add labels to the nodes for the locations and they would no longer be blank.
