This seems to be more publication-oriented in the sense that it focuses
mainly on the publication and not on the author. In QPRF reporting we
need a way to describe authors, not publications. Personally I tend to
like FOAF because there is a Web Service storing FOAF-related
information, so an end user can provide its FOAF id (URI) instead of
providing its name, address etc one by one.
