Listing everyone you know in your personal profile can be a cumbersome task.
In some cases, you may be able to automatically determine whether or not you know someone.
For example, people usually always know their direct colleagues, and their famility members.
For these cases, an automated mechanism to infer this knowledge may be desired.
Desired solution
Users should be able to include inference rules in their profile in the form of "if person is a colleague of me => I know this person".
Query engines should be able to detect and use this rule to infer knowledge at query time.
Acceptance criteria
A Solid profile that does not have any explicit listings of friends
This Solid profile must have a declaration of the rule "if person is a colleague of me => I know this person".
This profile must also indicate the company this user works for
The identifier of the company must list all employees
An app that allows visualization of all friends of a person, which must include the inferred ones
