Can one presume that everyone knows of the FOAF (friend of a friend)
vocabulary documented at <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> and the
SchemaWeb site <http://www.schemaweb.info/> - "a directory of RDF
schemas expressed in the RDFS, OWL and DAML+OIL schema languages".
As well as listing FOAF, the SchemaWeb directory
<http://www.schemaweb.info/schema/BrowseSchema.aspx> appears to
contain other schemas that seem relevant, e.g. BIO - A vocabulary
for biographical information.
