[rdfweb-dev] RDF locations of Semantic web groups and researchers

[Libby Miller]

I should add that I'm not trying to draw attention from the foaf work
already done in this area, but trying to spread it further, which is why
I posted to the RDF list and not this one...

I hope everyone has seen these related coolnesses:

foaf map

travel tools
http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/pim/travel.html

and Eric Vitiello's instructions for foaf and nearestAirport

cheers
