• Diff for "WebIDDebianNet"

The webid.debian.net site is an experiment at publishing FOAF/WebIDs for Debian contributors.

It is managed by obergix.

Features

• offers reference URIs for FOAF profiles for Debian contributors that can be linked from the PTS

Using it

 $ curl -s -H "Accept: text/turtle" http://webid.debian.net/maintainers/obergix

This fetches the RDF Turtle document which describes a Semantic Web resource named <http://webid.debian.net/maintainers/obergix#agent> who is a foaf:Person holding a foaf:OnlineAccount (<http://webid.debian.net/maintainers/obergix#account>).

For Debian project members, the FOAF URI is derived from the debian login, as <http://webid.debian.net/maintainers/LOGIN#agent>.

For non-project members, the FOAF URI is derived from an URL-encoded + lowercase email, as <http://webid.debian.net/maintainers/john.smith%40example.com#agent>.

ToDo

Here are the next things planed :

• generate the files periodically (the files are updated every day)

• unify people's various accounts (exploiting the GPG keyring is an option)

Future ideas

• migrate to somewhere on debian.org

• provide WebID authentication means

• interlink with other FOAF profiles of the contributors (possibly, using MyProfile)
