New contact recommendation filtering

[letnotimitateothers]

From now, recommended new contacts to a user are ---> the contacts of its contacts ---> we use (FOAF('knows'), FOAF('knows)) in the function followPath in the lib rdflib-stample-pg...

Some questions arises : ---> what new parameters the algorithm of recommendation should consider ? ---> what is the best number of jumps to do down the graph to discover new contacts for recommendation ? ---> how to filter the contacts in the recommendation ? Not showing the same contacts again and again; not showing new contacts with wrong URIs ---> how to paginate the contacts for recommendation ? ---> filter new contact without URIs or with wrong URIs (issue description not finished yet)

Recommending users requires some process the social graph, which is expensive. So there should be a fixed number of visible recommendations, but they should as much as possible always be different. This implies searching the graph randomly, up to a certain depth, and until a certain number of people have been found. The criteria for proposing people, should be that the contact information is of some form of minimal good quality:

• BNode Agents should probably be given second place ( unless they contain a lot of good information such as phone number, email or home page)
• the jump for WebID agents should work ( so that one can recuperate picture and other information )
• One should show how many people in one's network are connected to someone, double connections count as verifications ( x knows y said by x. and y knows x said by y )

Bnodes are already ignored and we ignore unjumpable profiles.

It is not really easy in RxJs to stop the processing of a stream I think so even if you only take the first 5 results the background computation may continue, even if you unsubscribe the stream. I think the concept of stream backpressure is relative to that, and it is said that Rx* is not good to handle backpressure (this is why some people prefer Iteratees in Scala for exemple)
