Thanks, the following is what I was trying to gett at:
 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
One key premise of FOAF, and of RDF generally, is that data is 
inherently distributed across the Internet rather than centralized in a 
single database. There is no single source of FOAF data: individuals 
maintain their own FOAF descriptions, either directly or by using tools 
provided by their community. This data is then harvested using indexing 
applications that share many similarities to the web crawlers employed 
by Internet search engines. FOAF provides a facility for linking one 
FOAF document to another in the same way that HTML documents are linked 
across the Web; this has resulted in a web of interlinked FOAF data 
sources.    (01)

Could we clarify then; foaf data, for example, 'Kenneth Fields' is 
located at:
  http://cemc.ccom.edu.cn/htmlDocs/foaf.rdf
The ontology, or RDF Vocabulary Description for FOAF (RDFS/OWL) is at:
http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/    (03)

What are opinions here -
Will we have an 'RDF Vocabulary Description for DAO (RDFS/OWL)?
This will be authored in???

FOAF is people centric. A piece of music belongs to someone, a document 
belongs to someone,
a intellectual piece of property belongs to someone. So people can set 
a foaf file in their home directory
that describes all there products, works, theories (hasGreatIdea), 
partOfAssociation (ISEA).    (05)

So this will then create the many cross relationships in our ontology 
from some Person to say,
Group/Association/MediaArtsAssociation/ISEA .    (06)

I  still trying to put these pieces together on the deliverables. What 
are your comments?    (07)
