I'm working on a way the use OpenKapow and GoogleMaps to plot out FOAF data.

A discussion of the project is also at
openkapow.com/forums/8546...ad.aspx#8546

    Great project. Do many of the profiles on tribe.net have lat/lon info in them?

    First I'd heard of OpenKapow... taking a look now...

      It's going well.
      Many profiles have the lat/lon pair in the FOAF data. The ones that don't have a vCard:ADR tags that either has a country entry like yours,

      <vCard:ADR rdf:parseType="Resource">
      <vCard:Country>United Kingdom</vCard:Country>
      </vCard:ADR>

      or more info like this

      foaf:based_near>
      <geo:Point geo:lat="37.4055" geo:long="-122.078"/>
      </foaf:based_near>
      −
      <vCard:ADR rdf:parseType="Resource">
      <vCard:Locality>Mountain View</vCard:Locality>
      <vCard:Region>CA</vCard:Region>
      <vCard:Country>United States</vCard:Country>
      </vCard:ADR>

      in the Open Kapow disussion group, I've had some help contructing a start of a Robot that extracts the tribe nickname and geocode data (lat/long) for the specified tribe member and each member in his FOAF data.
