there is also a concept out there of LOAF. I don't even know the acronym expansion--like list of all friends or something. I came here looking for it. It would be nice if someone that knew what that meant could list it here and link it to a stub. mike 15:59, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Wow. Didn't understand a word of this article. This is where Wikipedia stops being an encyclopedia and becomes a technical handbook. Patrick Neylan 10:08, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
No, I don't think this has technical merit. This article is useless. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.49.162.143 ( talk) 08:05, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
For those doing research in Semantic Web, Social Networks (especially Decentralized Online Social Networks) this content is quite useful. FOAF is arguably one of the more practical ideas born from Semantic Web. I got here after I read Tim Berners Lee's recent paper on Decentralized OSNs and I think this page deserves a note on Wikipedia. The general quality of the article could certainly improve though. Rrahimi —Preceding undated comment added 23:18, 15 November 2009 (UTC).
I just removed the notability warning on the article. I agree there are problems with it, but notability isn't one of them. You may not have noticed that it was nominated for deletion once before, and was kept: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/FOAF_(software) Nloth ( talk) 03:53, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
And I just removed the notability warning again. Being the major part of the Semantic Web concept, and having mentioned the LiveJournal implementation and the Tim Berners-Lee essay (that leaded to the Speedy Keep/nom withdrawn in the AfD long ago in 2007) is sufficient enough for notability, though in a minute I'll add the references to a lot of other services utilizing the FOAF system.

the statement "it does not require the dedicated key signing parties such as Certificate authority to perform the user authorization," is nonsensical as "certificate authority" is not a kind of key signing party. a certificate authority (CA) is an entity in a PKI who is responsible for evaluating the identity of an end entity and digitally signing that entity's public key. also, CA's do not perform authorization on behalf of the user, but rather give the user credentials other people may use to authenticate them. i think what we were going for here was something more like, "it does not require key signing parties or the use of a certification authority to establish trust."
just sayin'

FOAF is not software, it is an ontology or a controlled vocabulary. I would like to move this to "FOAF (ontology)". Any objections? Klortho ( talk) 02:34, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
I just tried looking at the first two references for this article, which I think is quite good btw, and they both went to an IBM Developerworks site that was down for maintenance. I waited a while and tried again and still down. Perhaps those links need updating. -- MadScientistX11 ( talk) 21:34, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

@ DrVogel The phrase "Friend of a friend" and its abbreviation "FOAF" has many other applications like Friend of a friend in sociology. So disambiguation is necessary and parenthesis "(ontology)" should be mentioned in its title. Hooman Mallahzadeh ( talk) 09:33, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved. ( closed by non-admin page mover) GeoffreyT2000 ( talk) 18:45, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
FOAF (ontology) → FOAF – Disambiguation not necessary since FOAF has redirected to the ontology page since 2014. One of the following must be true:
This requested move will decide which of those scenarios bears out. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:01, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
