How it works

Foafpress reads RDF/XML, Turtle & N-Triple syntax. You configure your .htaccess with some mod_rewrite rules to route your RDF files through Foafpress, then it delivers exactly what is requested: RDF to RDF clients, and a nice HTML representation to standard web browsers.

Currently Foafpress is developed and tested constantly, it can be used for FOAF profiles (Person and Group) out of the box. It is planned to add some more standard templates for basic vocabularies like FOAF, DOAP and SIOC.
