Please permit me to weigh in in favor of re-using existing URIs whenever possible.

FOAF does not define a set of URI.  Rather, it's XML-based markup.  WebFinger uses URIs as identifiers.  I don't really care where those identifiers are defined, but at present there is no standard property identifer in URI form that means "name".

http://schema.org/name ?  Of course that doesn't have the language fragment, though as you point out below, there's an argument it may not be needed anyway.  /shrug


Yeah, that would work.  And one cold add a URI fragment to that definition easily enough.

These are all too easy to create.  Who will put a stake in the ground and declare one property ID is the standard?
