we're going to need this kind of functionality as we're starting to architect an app that
will be a kind of hybrid between a directory listing and ryze/linkedin, so we're going to
need the ability to do the foaf/node links. we were actually hoping that someone had
already produced a kind of 'open source' algorithm describing/explaining/demonstrating
how this process can be implemented!!!
yeah.. i know.. but it's nice to dream!!
anybody interested in sharing ideas!!!

Cool. Let us know if you find something interesting. Are you planning
to allow different colors for the edges (relationship types) ?
I'll "race" any library that's been written :-)
