[foaf-dev] Facebook bridge

Hi,

This code was lying around on my hard disk for a while now. Today I had
time to clean it up and bring it online. Unlike a foaf file generator
the bridge is designed create semantic web links. If you want to link to
people which still stuck in Facebook you can add a knows property using
a object like that [1]. The bridge can access public information, but is
also able to use WebID for authentication. If you access the page [2]
the first time you can follow the authorize link to bind the OAuth
authorization code to your WebID.

The source code is available in my Subversion repository [3]. The
current code uses a quick 'n' dirty file persistence. This should be
changed before it's used in a wider scope. As it's based on the Facebook
Graph API it shares the limitations. For example it's not possible to
see the friend list of a friend. The bridge is also a nice example how
easy it is to use the ResourceMe WebID login code. The only class which
contains WebID specific code is the WebIdAuthCodeProvider. Including the
"require" and "use" code 5 lines of code are required:

require_once(LOGIN_WEBID_ROOT . "LoginWebId.php");
use org\bergnet\login\webid\FoafSslLogin;

$foafSslLogin = new FoafSslLogin();
$foafSslLogin->doLogin();
$this->webId = $foafSslLogin->getAgents();
