What is MyFOAFExplorer and how can I use it ?

The FOAF project defines a semantic format based on RDF/XML to define persons or groups, their relationships, as well as their basic properties such as name, e-mail address, subjects of interest , publication, and so on...MyFOAFExplorer was created after SciFOAF in order to browse a scientific network, its publications, its laboratories,... The program is an applet that takes as input a FOAF file such as this [one]. The applet can be downloaded and used for your laboratoy/social network to introduce your staff, your publications,...
The code does not contain a compliant RDF parser (such as JENA), but the way it parses the XML works fine for my test, so it could be used as a framework to write your own FOAF file.

.

Using the applet

<applet archive="foafexplorer.jar" width="640" height="640" 
code="org.lindenb.foafexplorer.FOAFApplet">
<param name="foaf" value="foaf.rdf">
</applet>
The applet just needs the parameter 'foaf' with the name of the FOAF file.
