FOAF-a-matic is a simple Javascript application that allows you to create a FOAF ("Friend-of-A-Friend") description of yourself. You can read more about FOAF in Edd Dumbill's "XML Watch: Finding friends with XML and RDF" article, at the FOAF homepage on RDFWeb, and also the FOAF vocabulary description. In short though, FOAF is a way to describe yourself -- your name, email address, and the people you're friends with -- using XML and RDF. This allows software to process these descriptions, perhaps as part of an automated search engine, to discover information about your and the communities of which you're a member. FOAF has the potential to drive many new interesting developments in online communities. Ben Hammersely's "Click to the Clique" article for the Guardian Unlimited website further explores these ideas.

👓 Metadata, Part 2: Microformats | Lockedown Design & SEO
In Part One of this miniseries on metadata, we looked at how you can use Schema.org markup to help search engines understand your website content better. Today, we’ll look at another widely used form of structured data markup, Microformats. Microformats is an initiative launched in 2005 by the web development community to give more semantic meaning to HTML.
👓 Microdata, Part 3: Dublin Core Markup | Lockedown Design & SEO
In Part One of our miniseries on metadata, we examined Schema.org. In part Two, we looked at microformats. Today, we’ll close this series by looking at Dublin Core. The Dublin Core Metadata Intiative (DCMI) first began in 1995 in Dublin, Ohio. Since 2000, it has been used alongside other specialty markup languages, such as RDFa.

🔖 ImageSnippets Gallery
ImageSnippets lets you create a responsive image gallery using ImageSnippets end point, username, property and object.
Major features in ImageSnippets allows you to:
Add/remove/edit multiple galleries.
Regenerate your gallery manually or schedule an automated task.
We are using REST API (https://www.setcronjob.com/) that will allow you to create a cron job service for regenerating your gallery. To do so, you have to create an account and generate API token.
This looks interesting and reminds me I want to take a closer look at some linked data technology.
