A social graph is a network of social profiles/identities and relationships between them, either on a single site like a silo, across the web, or in-person connections. The phrase was popularized by Google's now defunct Social Graph API.

Contents

Variations

Identity Graph

A subset of the full social graph that only focuses on the relationships between different representations of the same single identity and ignores the social relations between multiple such identities. Makes the scope of crawling the entire graph much more manageable.

Implementations

Google Social Graph API

The now defunct Social Graph API indexed XFN and FOAF data and provided a free and open REST API where people could query it. Also contained a Social Graph Node Mapper that created canonical identities for silo identities using the sgn:// protocol

identengine

See identengine. Focused on the identity graph subset of the social graph.

RelSpider

RelSpider – a project by Pelle Wessman that crawls identities using rel-me links. Focused on the identity graph subset of the social graph and to enable similar questions for that subset as the Google Social Graph once did. Started out as an experiment at Flattr to resolve verified ownership of web pages in an open, non-hands on way.

Silo Examples

Facebook

Facebook focuses heavily on their internal social graph, which eg. shines through in the name of their Graph API.

verified

Created by Kodfabrik.se on April 19

verified refers to a content or profile that is verified to belong to a certain identity. Verified identities avoid the spoofing that is otherwise possible when determining authorship.

Contents

Silo Examples

Various social network silos (e.g. Flattr, Google) has or has had verification of third party content on their sites.

Flattr

Flattr uses internally mapped URL:s to known proprietary identities and then used proprietary OAuth API:s of other services, like Twitter and GitHub, to let user verify multiple identities per platform.

Google

Google's "Authorship in web-search" feature used rel-author and similar to establish authorship of a web page and then tried connecting that to a Google+ profile, either directly or indirectly by following rel-me links to and from the authors profile and the Google+ profile. Google then presented a profile of that user in connection to the page in their search result.

Twitter

Twitter offers a subset of users the option of a blue "verified" checkmark icon on their name/profile, intended to "establish authenticity of identities of key individuals and brands on Twitter."

Brainstorming

Authorship + Rel-Me

First determine the authorship of a web page. If the author profile is on the same site (same host name) as the web page, and thus can be expected to not have been spoofed, then check for a bi-directional rel-me link between that author profile and the identity profile to verify it as.

Identity graph

To enable verification of more complex rel-me identity links one would need to compile an entire identity graph, the identity's own subset of the full social graph, and traverse the identity graph from the author profile, to the target and then back and ensure that the full chain of links exists and are valid. This would require something like identengine or RelSpider .

Hi I'm Ed Summers. I'm a software developer working at the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities.

I'm interested in the Web as an archive. I've worked putting traditional archival materials on the Web, but I'm actually more interested in what makes the Web more like an archive -- the so called Long Web. This includes such things as permalinks, persistence, visible data, robots.txt/crawling, etc ... but also newer approaches to distributed storage (IPFS, NameCoin, etc).

I'm also in the DC area an am interested in getting a Homebrew group or IndieWebCamp going. Please get in touch with me on Twitter, via email at ehs@pobox.com on in #indiewebcamp (I'm edsu).

connected home

Created by Aaronparecki.com on April 20

This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWebCamp wiki by expanding it.



A connected home is a home that contains multiple electronic devices that can communicate with each other and are accessible from a device outside the home. Typically these devices include cameras, light switches, lights, door sensors, garage door openers, and small kitchen appliances.

Apple sells a curated collection of connected home devices. http://store.apple.com/us/accessories/all-accessories/connected-home

Brainstorming

Each device in the house can publish its own h-feed of content it generates. For example

  • cameras can publish photos or video clips based on motion detection
  • door sensors can publish an entry when a door is opened
  • a motion sensor can publish an entry when it detects motion

An aggregator (or reader) can subscribe to each device's PuSH feed, and combine all the events into a single stream.

If you want to have some automation, such as a specific light turns on when motion is detected in a room, a bot can subscribe to the PuSH feed for the motion sensor, and when it receives an update, can tell a light to turn on.

Contents

Why

You would publish a question post in order to both get answers to your question, and get others to vote on the answers in order to collectively sort them by best to worst answer.

How

The markup for publishing a question post is not yet defined, yet you can start with just a normal h-entry, like that for a note post.

answer is a post type that is a reply to a question post; it's not clear whether answer needs to be its own post type, or if simple reply posts will suffice, thus if you're implementing answer posts, just start with implementing replies.
