Personally I like account_of. The semantic is good, in fact, we are talking about an account (a sioc:User), so this is the "account_of" a person (foaf: Person).<br /> <br /> Keep up the good work with the SIOC ontology, it's sure that I'll do my best to help it grows. I will be a pleasure to help you if you need any!<br /> <br /> <br /> Take care,<br /> <br /> Salutations,<br /> <br /> <br /> Fred Hi John,

Keep up the good work with the SIOC ontology, it’s sure that I’ll do my best to help it grows. I will be a pleasure to help you if you need any!

Take care,

Salutations,

Fred

the sioc:has_buddy would have sense because it would be the users that knows each others in a closed system.

The thing is that in Talk Digger, the foaf:knows property doesn’t only link people that know each other in the Talk Digger community, it also give the possibility to its users to foaf:knows someone outside the community. So, if you take a closer look at the foaf file, you will see that “fgiasson” know not only people from Talk Digger.

Considering that difference, I think that the sioc:has_buddy make senses.

For the sioc:User and foaf:Person thing, the problem is that there is no such properties right now. So, does it makes sense to use the rdfs:seeAlso property? In fact, the sioc:User is a resource and the foaf:Person is another resource. So [sioc:User -- rdfs:seeAlso --> foaf:Person] make sense (in my opinion) because the foaf:Person resource “add information” to the sioc:User resource (if we take a look at the rdfs:seeAlso definition, it is what it is intended too).

It’s sad for the SVG. Do you know how I could convert them in PNG, JPEG or GIF file? I took 1 or 2 hours without any success ehehhe.

thanks!

I can’t see your SVGs unfortunately, can’t seem to zoom in – might try another client…

Talk soon,
