Adding geo cordinates to your FOAF file
You don’t have a FOAF file yet? No? Then go create one!
You have a FOAF file, but it doesn’t have geo coordinates? Then go add them!
This link leads to a little service that helps you locate the latitude and longitude of the place where you live. I’ve built it today. It’s based on the Google Maps API, which is a lovely piece of technology, by the way.
So, there’s no more excuse! Add those coordinates, then view your profile on Alexandre Passant’s FOAFMap.net. Here’s mine.
(Update: There’s another FOAF geolocation service that determines the location from your street address.)
(Update2: Now with street maps for most of Europe!)

Adding geolocation in FOAF files
If you plan to use FOAFMap, you certainly would like to add your coordinates to your FOAF file.
Richard Cyganiak created a nice script that gives you the code to add on your profile with a single-click on a Google Map. Well done !
