[rdfweb-dev] foaf:beerTokens ...

[Graham Klyne]

I love it!

Do you think we could have a co-imbibing graph, in which folks have 
co-imbibed if they have participated in the same 
round? foaf:drunkWith? And for more than some threshold number of 
occurrences on the same date, foaf:hasGotDrunkWith?

Can we, kind-of like the old Eastern Block currencies, have a premium 
foaf:beerToken for *real* ale, and a devalued one for factory-farmed 
pretenders?
