[rdfweb-dev] Advogato to FOAF

[Leigh Dodds]

I've written another quickie utility that will create a basic 
FOAF description of someone based on an existing Advogato 
profile.

http://ldodds.com/foaf/advogato/

Uses Javascript to build up the requisite URL chain and 
calculate the sha1 (user must supply their email), and then 
XSLT to scrape the users home page and any related project 
pages.

A slightly more detailed write-up is available here:

My approach was to try to generate as much RDF as 
possible from the limited data, so I threw the project 
details, and some foaf:Documents with foaf:topics 
describing the Advo summary pages for the person 
and the projects which they're associated with.

Cheers,

L.
