Time to meet the (foaf:)maker

05 April, 2004

Whilst writing my LJ Friends Feed script I noticed that in the

section of every livejournal user’s page there’s a meta tag describing the foaf:maker of that page. G’s page, for example, contains this: ```


Paired with the `foaf:weblog` statement in [his FOAF file](http://xurble.livejournal.com/data/foaf) this provides simple validation for both statements. Awesome. I hadn’t thought of using meta tags like this, and had really assumed that rdf-in-xhtml would have to be used for it, but provided there’s a common way of doing it (especially within a closed system like LJ) then there’s no reason not to.

Interesting stuff!
