I think that would create mire fragmentation at thus point.

I think PortableContacts is the right collection of attributes for AX and OpenID and should largely be adopted as the standard for OpenID. Facebook Connect is much easier to work with because it reduces complexity and the number of options for doing things -- like the number of formats for accessing user data.

If sites that want to adopt OpenID have to learn some custom profile data schema AS WELL AS PortableContacs -- they're likely to skip it and go straight to FB Connect.

I've proposed a schema for using PoCo with AX; why don't we move to improve it and make it the standard for OpenID going forward?

Shade,

That's exactly what I was proposing: the class for AX.

For example, vCard will be one class in axschema. The same for openSocial person etc.

e.g.

http://axschema.org/vCard will specify all the sub-items of a vCard.

What do you think?

It's missing out on the idea of having a schema which can cross
contexts. Right now each schema – with the exception of AXSchema. org – has no concept of namespaces and stands alone. We've always wan ted
a schema which uses URLs to identify each element, but there haven't
been any.  Maybe Portable Contacts wants to take this on since it is
also used by OpenSocial?

I'm specifically pointing out that AXSchema reinvents vcard and a host of other profile formats, which adds yet another burden for developers to map
other schema, like Portable Contacts, to the AXSchema.

Could these other profile formats be mapped, on an alias, to a set of AXScheme that collectively mirror each format? As in, "vcard" alias maps to
a set of AXSchema that actually just mirror 'vcard' format.
