Contacts and profiles (old)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We have the opportunity to use better models for contact and profile related 
data. One option is using the vCard [1] model to model contact information. The 
FOAF vocabulary [2] is also an option but it is more focused on online 
representations of an "Agent" in the form of a profile. A profile is not 
limited to contact information and FOAF helps with this. 

Both options have a too strong of an assumption that the contact and profile is 
about a person or an agent. We probably can work around this by not using few 
of their properties. We can also add parent classes to both models that we can 
use to specify contact/profile like data for things that are not agents or 
people.
