Paola, on the Semantic Web, we use URIs to identify things...
Anybody is free to choose a URI for her/himself as long as it is under
his/her control, I'd say.

foaf:name and if refined needed respective vCard attributes, I'd say.

That is partially covered in the bio vocab, isn't it?

What are the respective attributes in vCard, foaf and doac?
Actually, this raises also the question which are allowed/recomended 
values.

no, it should be a URI again, denoting the organisation.

foaf:based_near

foaf:mbox, but this is indeed restrictive (being invFunc), but again 
maybe here vCard props might bve usable.

We should find some base ontologies, at least for certain kinds of 
expertise... this has been discussed in expertfinder since its 
beginning... e.g. for computer science the ACM categorization was 
suggested, aven wikipedia URIs were mentioned.

how?

which exactly?

good, what do doac and resumeRDF already provide there?


more later, gotta do a phone call now.
