Re: [foaf-dev] FOAF and other Libraries for Publications and writing

Thanks, Karen.  Any idea about included poems inside the RDF?  I think if 
they are short this can work.  I was thinking that
maybe a CDATA block would be used inside RDF/XML and then maybe line breaks. 
Or maybe html.

There are a number of existing ontologies to describe publications. It
might be best to use those, or to make an ontological relationship
between FOAF and something like BIBO. DC has many of the properties,
but I often see uses of http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/isbn. DC
"extent" is for pages, although that doesn't actually specify that it
is pages and not something else, like bytes or minutes. BIBO is more
precise, with "numPages" "pageStart" "pageEnd".
