A name for some thing. has name This is the most generic [FOAF](http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/) property for names. While two more specific properties are also available for people (`foaf:givenName` and `foaf:familyName`), the coverage of `foaf:name` guarantees its application to any agent (people, organizations, etc.). However, those more specific properties could additionally or alternatively be used if the creator is indeed a `foaf:Person`. The name type (e.g., organizational or personal) is expressed by specifying whether the agent involved is a person (`foaf:Person`) or an organization (`foaf:Organization`). The language of a name is expressed via a language-tagged literal, whose value must follow the pattern defined by the XML schema language type (e.g., `en`, `it`, `fr`, `cmn`, `nys`, `swh`, and so on). :david-shotton a foaf:Person ; foaf:name "David Shotton"@en .
