[rdfweb-dev] Affiliations

[Ian Davis]

I'm playing with affiliations and building links to organisations via
FOAF. This is the kind of thing I'm experimenting with in my FOAF[1]:

<aff:affiliation>
  <aff:Membership>
    <aff:memberOf>
      <org:Organization>
        <org:homepage rdf:resource="http://www.ecademy.com" />
        <org:name>Ecademy</org:name>
      </org:Organization>
    </aff:memberOf>
    <aff:memberProfile rdf:resource="http://www.ecademy.com/account.php?op=view&amp;id=19774" />
    <rdfs:seeAlso rdf:resource="http://www.ecademy.com/module.php?mod=network&amp;op=foafrdf&amp;uid=19774" />
  </aff:Membership>
</aff:affiliation>

Anybody else fancy doing the same? I'm hoping it's another way of
building indirect links between people, i.e. I can find other members
of Ecademy or Ryze via FOAF.

I'm also thinking about listing mailing lists I belong to using a
similar construct, but the term 'affiliation' doesn't really do it for
me in this context. Any better suggestions that would encompass both
types of membership?
