Abstract
Linking Electronic Number Mapping (ENUM) with the Semantic Web proposed by the authors in previous work necessitated a prototype for proofing the concept and application examples for further analysis. ENUM is a protocol for mapping a telephone number to a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) giving access to a wide range of a person’s (communication) identifiers. Friend-of-a-friend (FOAF) is a project for machine-readable modelling of social networks based on the Resource Description Framework (RDF). In this paper a JAVA-based prototype called PHOAF is introduced, enabling ENUM query, ENUM data retrieval, FOAF RDF file lookup and FOAF RDF file parsing. Application examples utilising that PHOAF capabilities are used to evaluate the concept. The examples range from VoIP add-ons to a semantic phonebook directory and increasing trust for FOAF data.
