This classic FOAF extension schema refines the foaf:knows property.
Using this simple ten property schema, we can declare five types of family relationship and five shades of relationship from 'friend' to 'enemy'.
Author Eric Vitiello's own FOAF file demonstrates its use perfectly. So when foaf:knows ain't good enough, reach for the Relationship schema.

Geo is a compact RDF schema used to express global location in terms of
latitude, longitude and altitude. This simple two class, four property schema
can be used to great effect in many types of RDF data from people to pictures.
GPS enabled mobile device applications are a prime use case of Geo data.
Enabling map support in applications is another. The amount and quality of
useful information that can be mined from diverse RDF data sources using
location is almost limitless.

Ever had the embarassing experience of serving up Roast Beef only to discover that your guest is vegetarian? This could be a thing of the past when people start marking up their FOAF files with the Vegetarian Ontology. Just using <veg:Vegetarian/> instead of <foaf:Person/> will avoid disappointments and ensure a swinging dinner party. And those among us that still think that 'meat is murder but veg is torture' can always use <veg:Omnivore/>.
