Documentation

The primary technical documentation for the core FOAF vocabulary is the FOAF specification.

Various other documents can be found in the wiki.

The Technical Documentation page provides more details on the technical documentation of FOAF, including links to the specifications it depends upon, as well as historical versions of FOAF.

For high level overviews that give some background to the spec, see also the following:

• The original introduction to FOAF from March 2000
• Edd Dumbill's Finding friends with XML and RDF
• An Introduction to FOAF from Leigh Dodds

The FOAF wiki, and mailing list may contain answers, drafts and proposals of interest to the more technically curious reader.
