Prototype of template

template OnlineAccount(?label, ?accountName, ?accountServiceHomepage, ?accountProfilePage) is {
    a foaf:OnlineAccount
    rdfs:label ?label
    foaf:accountName ?accountName
    foaf:accountServiceHomepage ?accountServiceHomepage
    foaf:isPrimaryTopicOf ?accountProfilePage
}

me { a foaf:Person
    foaf:account OnlineAccount("My del.icio.us account", "kierdavis",
                                    <http://www.delicious.com/>,
                                    <http://www.delicious.com/kierdavis>)
    
    foaf:account OnlineAccount("My Facebook account", "kier.davis",
                                    <http://www.facebook.com/>,
                                    <http://www.facebook.com/kier.davis>)
}

Very similar to my attempt. https://gist.github.com/3086533

What about the URIs of the foaf:accounts?

Hmmm, just doing:

foaf:account me/accounts/delicious OnlineAccount(...)

would probably confuse the parser, since "OnlineAccount" looks like it should be the start of the next predicate.

Maybe something along the lines of normal descriptions:

foaf:account me/accounts/delicious {OnlineAccount("My del.icio.us account", "kierdavis", <http://www.delicious.com/>, http://www.delicious.com/kierdavis>)}

But that looks a little clumsy. Maybe drop the parenthesises (parentheses? parenthesi? whatever):

foaf:account me/accounts/delicious {OnlineAccount: "My del.icio.us account", "kierdavis", <http://www.delicious.com/>, http://www.delicious.com/kierdavis>}

But the pattern is suffixed with ( which no object can be in the syntax surely?

I'm not sure about the lookahead capabilities of the parser (will it be able to see the '(' which is 2 or 3 tokens ahead, or will it assume its a predicate and then cough up a syntax error?). It would also mean that I would have to drop the RDF list syntax too (which isn't implemented yet anyway and probably never will be unless there's demand for it)
