This is a strawman example of how we might use FOAF to mark up an IRC channel or Jabber chat room: 


<foaf:ChatGroup>
 <foaf:chatRoom rdf:resource="irc://irc.freenode.net/rdfig"/>
 <foaf:name>The RDFIG IRC channel</foaf:name>
 <dc:description>The channel of W3C's RDF Interest Group community</dc:description>  
 <foaf:homepage>
  <foaf:Document rdf:about="http://www.w3.org/RDF/Interest/#irc">
    <dc:title>RDF IG homepage</dc:title> 
    <foaf:topic rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/RDF/"/>
    <foaf:topic rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/XML/"/>
    <foaf:topic rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/"/>
  </foaf:Document>
 </foaf:homepage>
</foaf:ChatGroup>

Note: this introduces a bunch of fictional markup (ChatGroup, chatRoom) I invented for sake of this article. We could hopefully use all these for Jabber rooms too, using foaf:jabberID, though details aren't clear yet.

Note also we don't yet have a way of saying who is a 'regular' in such a channel, ie. a typical member of the group. This shades into representation of online presence, ie. who is currently present in the chat group...
