The schoolHomepage property relates a foaf:Person to a foaf:Document that is the foaf:homepage of a School that the person attended.

FOAF does not (currently) define a class for 'School' (if it did, it would probably be as a sub-class of foaf:Organization). The original application area for foaf:schoolHomepage was for 'schools' in the British-English sense; however American-English usage has dominated, and it is now perfectly reasonable to describe Universities, Colleges and post-graduate study using foaf:schoolHomepage.

This very basic facility provides a basis for a low-cost, decentralised approach to classmate-reunion and suchlike. Instead of requiring a central database, we can use FOAF to express claims such as 'I studied here' simply by mentioning a school's homepage within FOAF files. Given the homepage of a school, it is easy for FOAF aggregators to lookup this property in search of people who attended that school.
