Ghosts in the Semantic Web Machine? [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
in this paper we present the concept of a ghost, a lightweight container that holds pointers to RDF resources (such as RDF vCards or FOAF) which represent the person associated with the ghost. The goal of the ghost approach is to provide a light weight jumping off point into the various bodies of metadata associated with an individual, which in turn can connect to various Semantic Web services in a local context.
