Re: [foaf-dev] foaf:page / foaf:primaryTopic in DBpedia

Hi,

DBpedia will use foaf:primaryTopic and foaf:isPrimaryTopicOf in 3.8
(not foaf:primaryTopic and foaf:page as before). Seemed the most
sensible combination to me, but I'm not a FOAF expert.

Please let me know soon if you think that's a bad idea.

Cheers,
JC
