Re: [foaf-dev] What is the best way to edit a FOAF profile?

Have you checked out the foaf-o-matic?  http://www.foaf-o-matic.org/

It allows to load, edit and save on both local and remote machine a FOAF 
profile.

If you have problems loading the profile, contact me and I will see what 
I can do.

saluti,
Stefano Bortoli
