Here's a simple sample session: <edd> foafbot, edd's email <foafbot> edd's email is '[mailto:edd@u...]', according to Dave Beckett, Edd Dumbill, Kip Hampton, Matt Biddulph; and anonymous sources Anon12, Anon2, Anon37, Anon41 <foafbot> edd's email is '[mailto:edd@x...]', according to Edd Dumbill; and anonymous sources Anon19 The current downside is that I'm implementing provenance tracking on top of my chosen RDF toolkit (Dave Beckett's Redland), which makes things rather slow. Work's underway to bring such tracking down to the toolkit level. -- Edd This is a digitally signed message part
