Hi.
I've recently soft-launched a distributed identity webapp that I've
split out of another project, and released several aspects of that
application as open standards ( Creative Commons Attribution-No
Derivative Works 2.5 License )
I don't know how / where to submit it for potential consideration as
a microformat , or even if they qualify ( one supports human
readable , but is geared to be machine readable ; the other is more
of an interchange format , but works well as semantic markup ) - so I
came here.
The summaries:
findmeon
design:
essentially a subset of XML-DSIG with some FOAF / XFN semantics
tossed in , and coerced to validate in XHTML strict
designed for machine readability , but supports human readability
(90% of content would usually be hidden though)
unfortunately must support a non-standard 'compressed' url-
encoding to let it clear as validated text on several social networks
and forum software ( required because certain tags/attributes were
often stripped )
usage:
openly claim / verify / link multiple websites together via RSA
1024 public key pairings within a distributed self-sufficient framework
hopefully will end proprietary 'i own this
blog/whatever' codes
designed so that resources do not need to know about one another
or a central server in order to be linked/verified by a public key
originated from: a need to map artist/label/venue/etc information
on a music site to official sites / online profiles ; map users of a
music site onto other sites for verifiability in trading concert
tickets or making online requests / contest entries
specification status:
the current release works as it should, so any feedback/changes
would be merged into a future release
open_sn
design:
a dirty dirty hack
standardizes the most common social network / dating site / online
account profile fields that do not natively appear in existing
specifications
its really quite a bad 'standard' -- but it serves its
purpose
primarily designed as an interchange format, but works pretty well
in terms of semantic markup
usage:
mostly an interchange format for migrating data between
accounts
specification status:
very much open for immediate improvement / replacement. its a
dirty dirty hack.
The full text / description of both standards are available at
http://findmeon.org
I'd welcome any feedback.
Thanks,
// Jonathan Vanasco
