Typepad have used foaf:knows in a slightly odd way that some people have
questioned. eg
<foaf:Person>
...
<foaf:knows>
<foaf:Person>
<foaf:name>Foo</foaf:name>
<foaf:homepage rdf:resource="http://bar.com/" />
</foaf:Person>
</foaf:knows>
</foaf:Person>
Where Foo at URL Bar is an entry in a blogroll. So this is not really
about a Person at all and devalues (IMHO) foaf:knows. Another way of
coding this might have been something like:-
<foaf:blogroll>
<foaf:Document rdf:resource="http://bar.com/">
<foaf:name>Foo</foaf:name>
</foaf:Document>
</foaf:blogroll>
Would this have been better? What would have been the process for
creating foaf:blogroll?
