Abstract
Social network and data portability has recently gained a lot
of interest as one of the issues for social media sites on the Web. In this
paper, we will show how Semantic Web technologies and especially the
FOAF and SIOC vocabularies can be used to model user information
and user-generated content in a machine-readable way. Thus, we will see
how data and network information can be reused among various services
and applications, at almost zero-cost for developers of such tools.
