Facebook to Semantic Web

In the focus of my Context Computation Algorithm I have used the Friend of a Friend (FOAF) Ontology to extract the context information. That was fine for myself, because I have a pretty complete FOAF file that is public available, but a hurdle if the algorithm should work for generic end users. For this reason I have developed a small Facebook App that extracts the profile information to FOAF and the Wall entries to SIOC. Although it is a quick hack and not a nice planned software, it works pretty well and could directly used by the context computation algorithm and the Android FOAF Viewer. It is also published in the Facebook App Directory. If the interest in the App grows I consider to improve it and provide an API for third party software use.
