Assignment:

Create a FOAF file. You may use any method you choose. The file must contain one new property not in the standard FOAF description, properly defined both in terms of namespace and in terms of property definition (including domain and range). At least one of the domain or range classes must be an existing FOAF class (i.e. you are extending FOAF).

Create both an N3 and an RDF/XML file, available on a Web server, for this (you can use a converter, in fact, you are encouraged to do so). For submission, you will email these two URIs as follows (please try to follow exactly):

• Send the email to hendler+class@cs.rpi.edu
• The subject should be: Assignment1a [your last name]
• The email should include the two URIs, one ending in ".rdf" and one in ".n3"
