Title:

Distributed Identity: API’s of the Semantic Web

Your vote:
Yes No
Organizer:
Glenn Jones, Madgex
Description:
Without much conscious thought, most of us have built identities across the web. We fill in profiles, upload photos, videos, reviews and bookmarks. This session will explore the practical use of Social Graph API and YQL to build new types of user experience combining identity discovery and data portability.
Questions
Answered:
  1. How do you find the footprints an individual leaves across the web?
  2. How can I programmatically collect someone’s distributed identity?
  3. What is and how do I use the Social Graph API?
  4. How do I aggregate many different profiles into a combined identity?
  5. How do you deal with the projection of different personas when aggregating identities?
  6. How can we join Social Graph data with open data formats such as RSS and Atom?
  7. What is API endpoint discovery?
  8. How can you use URI-templates to describe RESTful API’s
  9. What types of new user experiences can you build with this type of data?
  10. How do you use design to help alleviate privacy concerns when mining personal information?

Thanks Elias, I think anyone with into data portability will find these ideas interesting.

For a practical demostration of my early work in this area try out:
Identify Firefox Extension:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11570/

A extension that can be used to explorer an individuals combined web identity across social network/media sites.

"The panel will cover the various tools..."
Not sure which panel the comment above was written for, but I am pretty sure its was not for this talk.
