[edit] Cool Stuff
This is a list of cool FOAF-related things people have built. Software, services, demos etc.
I've listed things by primary interface (IRC, SVG etc.) but other ways of listing
things might also make sense. Lots of things aren't linked to yet. Feel free to add
links, including rough/evocative demos. This should be a useful page for finding
links you've seen but forgot how to find...

[edit] RDF Harvesters
all your foaf (one page 'ayf.pl' perl hack vs fairly reasonable Ruby rewrite as 'ayf.rb', aka SimpleScutter), by DanBri.
Scutter DanBri's main Ruby RDF harvester; a rewrite of the first FOAF harvester, also called Scutter. This program (like SimpleScutter) depends on the RubyRDF library, but also makes use of SQL storage facilities.
[edit] IRC
FOAFBot by Edd in Python using Redland. julie by ChristopherSchmidt in Python using Redland
[edit] Photography
XMP is a standard developed by Adobe to embed RDF in a variety of file formats, including jpeg files.
RdfPic lets you put RDF into jpegs.
Idea: Photo album software that provides RDF index into photos, especially when creating albums and web pages, would be pretty cool. So would an online hosting services that stores your photos for you.
[edit] SVG
FOAF Map, projects people onto globe in SVG.
FOAFNaut - SVG navigator by Jim and Liz, based on Dean's code.
[edit] Relationship-Building Applications
Most Popular Friends of Friends, (also as a standalone app here) an application which finds the most popular friends of your friends given a FOAF file. Its written in PHP and the source code is available here. Author: Paul Baranowski.
[edit] Silly Stuff
SVG Semantics: PICS NG demo, SVG-based demo by DanBri showing how RDF+SVG can be used for cataloguing images that might prove controversial.
[edit] eXtra SilLy Tools
FoaF Explorer, an XSLT based renderer of FoaF files, with limited schema support and integration to FOAFNaut and RDFWeb.
sha1ify, a transformer for mailto: URIs and foaf:mbox elements to SHA-1.
[edit] Way Out There
PrologJavaScript might be useful for someone processing RDF in browser clients.
[edit] FOAF Browsers
Social Networking utilizing Semaview's Friend of a Friend Browser discusses the FOAF Browser. You can integrate it into your own site to give a walk-the-graph visualization of your FOAF network.
[edit] This Page
The link to this page from RDFWebWiki states "The CoolStuff page lists interesting gadgets like FoafNaut. Add links please!"
which conflicts with
"This is a list of cool FOAF-related things people have built. Software, services, demos etc."
I am note sure if i should be looking for/adding general rdf tools on this page. Please delete this note when the descriptions on the RDFWebWiki and CoolStuff about CoolStuff are consistent.
