[edit] Names In FoaF - An alternate proposal

An alternate proposal for expressing names in FOAF. See Morten's original at NamesInFoaf

Let's keep foaf:name, dump the rest of the existing name-related properties, and create a new set of properties to capture names used for different modes of address.

* familiarName - the name used in familiar situations by friends, e.g. Ian
* informalName - the name used when referred to in informal situations, e.g. Ian Davis
* formalName - the name used when referred to in formal situations, e.g. Mr. Davis
* fullName - the full name as expected to be used on an identifying document e.g. Mr Ian Robert Davis
