Open / Federated Social Web

DataPortability

There are numerous open standards that are considered to advance the vision, such as RDF, RDFa, microformats, APML, FOAF, OAuth, OpenID, OPML, RSS, SIOC, the XHTML Friends Network (XFN), XRI, and XDI.

DiSo

Silo free living. Social networks are becoming more open, more interconnected, and more distributed. Many of us in the web creation world are embracing and promoting web standards — both client-side and server-side. Microformats, standard APIs, and open-source software are key building blocks of these technologies. This model can be described as having three sides: Information, Identity, and Interaction.

Diso (dee • soh) is an initiative to facilitate the creation of open, non-proprietary and interoperable building blocks for the decentralized social web. Our first target is WordPress, bootstrapping on existing work and building out from there.

GNUnet

  • GNUnet is a framework for secure peer-to-peer networking that does not use any centralized or otherwise trusted services. A first service implemented on top of the networking layer allows anonymous censorship-resistant file-sharing. Anonymity is provided by making messages originating from a peer indistinguishable from messages that the peer is routing. All peers act as routers and use link-encrypted connections with stable bandwidth utilization to communicate with each other. GNUnet uses a simple, excess-based economic model to allocate resources. Peers in GNUnet monitor each others behavior with respect to resource usage; peers that contribute to the network are rewarded with better service. GNUnet is part of the GNU project. GNUnet can be downloaded from GNU and the GNU mirrors.

Semantic

  • RDFa is an extension to HTML5 that helps you markup things like People, Places, Events, Recipes and Reviews. Search Engines and Web Services use this markup to generate better search listings and give you better visibility on the Web, so that people can find your website more easily.
  • microformats are extensions to HTML for marking up people, organizations, events, locations, blog posts, products, reviews, resumes, recipes etc. Sites use microformats to publish a standard API that is consumed and used by search engines, browsers, and other tools.

Sitemaps

  • Sitemaps are an easy way for webmasters to inform search engines about pages on their sites that are available for crawling. In its simplest form, a Sitemap is an XML file that lists URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL (when it was last updated, how often it usually changes, and how important it is, relative to other URLs in the site) so that search engines can more intelligently crawl the site.

Schema.org

  • Schema.org provides a collection of schemas, i.e., html tags, that webmasters can use to markup their pages in ways recognized by major search providers. Search engines including Bing, Google, Yahoo! and Yandex rely on this markup to improve the display of search results, making it easier for people to find the right web pages.

OpenSocial

  • OpenSocial is the industry's leading and most mature standards-based component model for cloud based social apps. Using OpenSocial, it's easy to have your app reach users where they get work done; in their activity stream, in content, in email, or even on their mobile device. OpenSocial is supported by a growing number of leading consumer and enterprise platforms. Visit our showcase and click on the button to get started today!
  • [Wikipedia:OpenSocial] is a public specification that defines a component hosting environment (container) and a set of common application programming interfaces (APIs) for web-based applications. Initially it was designed for social network applications and was developed by Google along with MySpace and a number of other social networks. In more recent times it has become adopted as a general use runtime environment for allowing untrusted and partially trusted components from third parties to run in an existing web application. The OpenSocial Foundation has also moved to integrate or support numerous other open web technologies. This includes Oauth and OAuth 2.0, Activity Streams, and portable contacts, among others.

  • Twitter cards make it possible for you to attach media experiences to Tweets that link to your content. Simply add a few lines of HTML to your webpages, and users who Tweet links to your content will have a "card" added to the Tweet that’s visible to all of their followers.
  • Web Intents is a framework for client-side service discovery and inter-application communication. Services register their intention to be able to handle an action on the user's behalf. Applications request to start an Action of a certain verb (share, edit, view, pick etc.) and the system will find the appropriate Services for the user to use based on the user's preference. Web Intents puts the user in control of service integrations and makes the developer's life simple.

Tent

  • Tent™ is the protocol for decentralized communication. Tent uses HTTPS and JSON to transport posts between servers and apps.
    • Tent - use data and posts across your apps and send and receive posts from friends. Right now, most people use Tent to share short 256 character long status posts with friends. Many independent developers are building other apps that use the Tent protocol.
  • http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs Tahoe-LAFS is a Free and Open cloud storage system. It distributes your data across multiple servers. Even if some of the servers fail or are taken over by an attacker, the entire filesystem continues to function correctly, preserving your privacy and security.

Group types

from old wiki

Groups for collaboration on and sharing of conversation, news, code, media, services, etc.

  • Active = Groups as in membership.
    • Who can 'join'?
      • Open = Cost of entry is participation.
      • Closed = Some form of new-member rules.
    • What output can people see?
      • Public = Open process, easily forkable.
      • Private = Group or subgroup curates output, hidden process. Trust?
  • Passive = Groups as in topics of interest.
    • Web of semantically related topics and ideas.
    • Mining and 'routing' of relevant related content


Individual hubs could federate the service they wished (widgets, social aggregation, files, etc) in a manner that could be open or hidden. Tunnelled inter-darknet connections between anonymised users and services.
