Once upon a time there was a Resource whose name was Joe Triple:
@prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1> .
</joe> foaf:name "Joe Triple".
Joe was a lonely Thing, and resolved to set off into the world to learn more about himself.
On this quest for self discovery Joe learnt that his birthday was 29th November 2007:
@prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1> .
</joe> foaf:name "Joe Triple";
foaf:birthday "2007-11-29".
Heartened by learning this new fact about himself and feeling more and more like a free Agent, Joe was encouraged to continue his journey of self-disovery. Joe acquired an email address and started a blog in order to have further contact with the world:
@prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1> .
</joe> foaf:name "Joe Triple";
foaf:birthday "2007-11-29";
foaf:weblog <http://www.example.org/~joe/blog>;
foaf:mbox <joe.triple@example.org>.
Through his travels and researches Joe developed many new interests:
@prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1> .
</joe> foaf:name "Joe Triple";
foaf:birthday "2007-11-29";
foaf:weblog <http://www.example.org/~joe/blog>;
foaf:mbox <joe.triple@example.org>;
foaf:interest <http://www.w3.org/RDF/>;
foaf:interest <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travel>.
These interests helped Joe to define himself as a Person. In addition Joe developed a network of many friends, for many of whom he became a mentor:
@prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1> .
@prefix rel: <http://purl.org/vocab/relationship/>
</joe> foaf:name "Joe Triple";
foaf:birthday "2007-11-29";
foaf:weblog <http://www.example.org/~joe/blog>;
foaf:mbox <joe.triple@example.org>;
foaf:interest <http://www.w3.org/RDF/>;
foaf:interest <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travel>;
rel:mentorOf </rod>;
rel:mentorOf </jane>;
rel:mentorOf </fred>.
All of these people were enriched by their encounters with Joe, who helped each of them define themselves as people.
The End.
