Hi, As a work for my thesis I would like to describe some scenarios on how using the OpenSocial API improves the interoperability of an opensocial container. I would like to get feedback if this scenarios are accurate. Maybe there are ideas for other scenarios. So I would welcome feedback to them too.
scenario 1 - common forum where users of any social network can parizipate without registering explicitly in that forum. Idea: User installs application on his profile. Then application takes him to the forum where he can see and edit message threads. The forum needs access to a few data of the social network to identify the user and get personal information of the user. For this scenario OAuth is needed to access the user's infos. scenario 2 - printing service for pictures of a user's photo album. For this scenario opensocial spec 0.9 is needed for access on the photos. Idea: User installs appropriate application on his profile where he can choose a printing service. User starts application and chooses a printing service. With continue the user gets directed to the choosen printing service. The printing service now displays the photoalbum of the user. The service is able to access the pictures via the opensocial api. The user can choose some of the pictures and continues to finish the job. OAuth is needed for accessing private data (photos) of the user. scenario 2 can also be assigned to other scenarios where the services needs access to other information like messages.
