It's a interesting question: how to know if several Users accounts are
the same Person. In SWAML we have an old task [1] about this, because
each Person could use his several mail address to send messages to a
mailing list.

I know clearly the way (using his FOAF profile: find it and link all the
Users related with that Person), but not how. For the moment we have
hardcoded the first part, because I don't know a service that gives the
URI of a Person from a mail address.

What's your opinion?
