Abstract;This paper proposes a browsing system for the social network composed in the FOAF framework. The system utilizes comic strip expression which has more superior capacity of represention than diagram with the table of HTML. FOAF is a format to be proposed to exhibit a person's profile in RDF/XML form as a part of the Semantic Web project. Many tools have been developed for browsing the network, however they display people profiles using abstruse vocabulary of FOAF into simple tables. On the contrary, the proposed system displays these structures as comic strip expressions. This system has confirmed experimentally to work as the browser of human social networks. (author abst.)
