New page

This property represents the imported [[FOAF]] property [[imported from::foaf:mbox]]. It is used to specify someones [[has type::email]] address in URI-form. However: '''Do not use ''foaf:mbox'' directly.''' Instead, use the template [[Template:mailbox]] as follows:

<nowiki>{{mailbox|someone@somewhere.org}}</nowiki>

to get multiple annotations in one step: one with ''foaf:mbox'' and one with [[Property:email]]. To still use ''foaf:mbox'', one would write

<nowiki>[[foaf:mbox::mailto:someone@somewhere.org]]</nowiki>

where "mailto:" is important.

'''Attention:''' FOAF specifies that everything with a value for ''foaf:mbox'' is a ''foaf:Agent'', i.e. some entity that can do something. So do not use ''foaf:mbox'' to assign an email, e.g., to a conference. An alternative to ''foaf:mbox'' is [[Property:email]] which encodes emails as a string (without "mailto:" and without a FOAF interpretation).
