The {{{webid.debian.net}}} site is an experiment at publishing [[FOAF]]/[[WebID|WebIDs]] for Debian contributors.

It is managed by [[OlivierBerger|obergix]].

See [[WebIDForDebianWebServices]] for a more general description of the use of WebID in Debian.

== Features ==
 * offers reference URIs for FOAF profiles for Debian contributors that can be linked from the [[pts/RdfInterface|PTS]]

=== Using it ===
{{{
 $ curl -s -H "Accept: text/turtle" http://webid.debian.net/maintainers/obergix
}}}

This fetches the [[http://webid.debian.net/maintainers/obergix.ttl|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 OpenPGP keyring is an option)

=== Future ideas ===
 * migrate to somewhere on {{{debian.org}}}
 * provide WebID authentication means (for instance with WebID + TLS), as an alternative to DebianSingleSignOn
 * interlink with other FOAF profiles of the contributors (possibly, using MyProfile)
 * Integrate with other Django-based Debian Web services. See http://www-public.telecom-sudparis.eu/~berger_o/weblog/2013/11/06/generating-webid-profiles-for-debian-project-members/ for a more recent experiment.
