We already have one of course.
It's called FOAF. It hasn't yet been widely adapted to OpenID but I know a few people doing that kind of thing with it.
What we really need is sites to be much more open about the way they register people. In effect we need widespread adoption of OpenID. Because then FOAF would mean something.
Is it possable to have a foaf repostitory where any individual could sign up with openid and then be given a directory that only they could write to, and that directory would be readable by the whole world, and then make these directories searchable by a foaf spider that makes links based on the foaf files in the repository?
This seems to me would be an ideal place where people could volunetary place their foafs to be search and aggregated into a world wide foaf file. Talk about a social graph, this one would really be a world wide social graph.
Does this idea make any sense? has its time come to be implamented? I wonder who would step up and make this happen? could something like this really work? are there enough people interested in doing this? on the main page you could have a foaf maker so people could create their own foaf and then store it onsite to be added to the world foaf file!
Maybe they could call it the world wide foaf file . org. I am not able to set this up myself but would this not move the idea along of a portable social web down the road to a more likely possablity?
It seems to me that then you could just list your wwwff.org url on your openid attributes and then whatever site you join could just pull down your file from the wwff.org site.
Hey, maybe you could also add your avatar or picture on this site also. They could limit it to only two files allowed per person; a foaf and a picture.
I guess some could argue that making it centralized might be a bad idea. So they do not have to put thier foaf file there if they do not want to.

I think that the world wide foaf file dot org is a good idea.I think it's more important that people start supporing OpenID as it stands. If they do that we can then link people together as *they* want with FOAF.
