people-tag

Created by Tantek.com on July 18




A people tag is a special kind of tag that refers to a specific person by URL rather than just a word or phrase.

Contents

Why

By supporting people tags in posts, you can more explicitly/automatically notify people via webmention to their homepage at their URL that you have explicitly tagged a post as being about them, e.g. a photo post where they're in the photo.

How

No specific proposals yet by any IndieWeb implementations.

IndieWeb Examples

None so far.

Silo Examples

The following silos support people tagging and are thus a good starting point for documenting people-tagging user experiences for recreation on indieweb sites.

  • Facebook - all post types, an explicit text mention is interpreted as a people tag, plus you can explicitly people tag areas of photo posts
  • Flickr - you can people tag a photo and optionally denote a rectangle of the photo that indicates that person
  • Instagram - you can people tag a photo and optionally denote a point on the photo (from which the label of the person's name is hung).
  • Twitter - photos in tweets can be people-tagged - see details.
  • Google+ - photos can be people-tagged - see details.

Brainstorming

HTML imagemaps

Ben Werdmuller wondered if you could tag people in photos by linking to their profiles using HTML imagemaps (!) and marking up the imagemap links with microformats. That might look something like:

Tantek, Aaron and Amber!

<map name="peeps">

<area shape="circle" coords="124,58,8" class="microcard h-card u-url" href="http://tantek.com" alt="Tantek Çelik">

<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,82,126" class="microcard h-card u-url" href="http://aaronparecki.com" alt="Aaron Parecki">

<area shape="circle" coords="90,58,3" class="microcard h-card u-url" href="http://caseorganic.com" alt="Amber Case">

</map>

However, because the HTML syntax of imagemaps sits outside the actual image tag, it may be worth adding a microformat to the map itself.

SWAT0

People tagging was one of the steps of the SWAT0 social web acid test developed / proposed in 2010.

autolink

Created by Tantek.com on July 24

  • Thu, July 24 tantek.com stub with dfn, IndieWeb Examples, Open Source, Silo Examples
  • Thu, July 24 tantek.com note WP article uses term "autolink"
  • Thu, July 24 tantek.com URLs, @-names



An autolink is a hyperlink that was automatically added to some text to link that text to an obvious or useful destination, e.g. hyperlinking a URL in plaintext to the URL itself, linking hashtags to search results, and @-names to their profile pages.

Contents

IndieWeb Examples

Tantek

Tantek Çelik posts plain text notes on tantek.com which are autolinked (URLs, @-names) with the CASSIS auto_link function since 2010-02-16.

... many more ...

Feel free to add your site if you also support posting of notes with autolinking, and note since when.

Open Source

See CASSIS auto_link function for a fairly good (and selfdogfooded) open source autolink implementation for PHP&JS.

Silo Examples

Most silos autolink URLs, some autolink hashtags & @-names as well (Twitter, Instagram).

deviantART

Created by Tantek.com on July 22




deviantART is an art hosting silo that retains the rights to resell copyright of anything you post to it, without informing you, and has done so in the past.

Contents

Criticism

Selling Your Work

An attendee of this talk shared her personal experience (video, time offset: 13:52), about how:

  • as an artist, she has had work stolen, having been on deviantART for a while
  • a business started printing her art on shirts
  • that had licensed it from deviantART
  • apparently was part of deviantART's TOS that they could do so with her art
    • Note that many (most?) silos (e.g. Medium) have similar TOS where they have the rights to sell your work without your permission or notification.

Export

Does not allow you to export your data at all, before deactivation.

canonical

Created by Waterpigs.co.uk on July 19

  • Sat, July 19 waterpigs.co.uk stubbed definition of canonical



The canonical copy of a piece of content is the “truest” copy. This is typically:

  • the copy most actively in use, i.e. the copy to which updates are applied
  • the copy which you want to lose the least
  • the copy from which backups are made
  • the copy you want people to link to

Contents

Different contexts for “canonical”

“canonical” can be used in a variety of different circumstances, and whilst it’s meaning is approximately the same in all of them it’s worth being aware of the difference.

Canonical copy in software

E.G. within someone’s publishing software there might be several copies of content, the copy which is used to build pages to serve, and which is edited when updates are made; a copy in an index which is used for searching; a copy in a cache for quickly serving pages. In this case it’s the former which is the canonical copy, as the others a) are easily rebuilt from the canonical copy and b) go out of date as soon as an update is made.

Canonical copy on the web

Content on the web can be copied freely both by the publisher (for example POSSE copies) and by others (for example reposts). In each circumstance, the “canonical” copy is the copy on the author’s site.
