#xfn — Public Fediverse posts

I built BlockRoll, a #blogroll plugin for #WordPress, and packed it with every open standard and format I could think of!

Anyone know the difference/connection between #XFN and #miroformats?

Reading up on some internet history and learned that Google supported XFN in its short-lived Social Graph API. rel=me and all that.

Is #XFN obsolete? It looks like only the `rel="me"` survives.

https://gmpg.org/xfn/11

Is it worth keeping it in the `<link rel=profile `?

Die Metadaten verraten Dir, wer einen Crush auf Dich hat

Das ist bestimmt gar nicht creepy und übergriffig. Zusätzlich ist das definitiv keine Information, die man via Metadaten seiner Website dem gesamten Netz mitteilen muss. Aber wovon rede ich eigentlich? Ich rede von XFN – dem XHTML Friends Network.

Friendly reminder how creepy some early standards were which tried to show connections between websites and the people running them.

The 'XFN 1.1 relationships meta data profile' standard defines rel="me" which we use now for Mastodon verification but it defines rel="crush", "sweetheart", "muse" and "date" as well and maybe we should revisit some old standards and remove those creepy things.

Huh, site verification via `rel="me"` HTML links is neat: https://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2022/11/30/how-to-verify-site-ownership-on-mastodon-profiles/

It's a shame that only #Mastodon and #GitHub seem to support it so far

Interestingly #WordPress has had a "Links" feature since at least 2005 that offers all kinds of values for "rel" other than "me", as part of the "XHTML Friends Network" or #XFN: https://gmpg.org/xfn/

You can even do `rel="crush"` (though I wouldn't advise it).

@ApisNecros
I toyed around with it on my website https://jaenis.ch but haven't quite grokked it.

That's #xfn isn't it?

@aw I’ve realized that https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/XHTML_Friends_Network was also micro format. I liked #XFN, but it wasn’t popular.

Sind eine hCard und ein wenig XFN jetzt schon DataPortability?

Liest man die letzten Meldungen über Digg bei Techcrunch könnte man meinen eine hCard und ein bisschen XFN reichen um DataPortability zu betreiben.

The DataPortability Project has gained another adherent in Digg, which announced on its blog today that it has implemented three under-the-hood enhancements.

Natürlich ist es wichtig, dass Standards wie Microformats oder RDFa eine große Akzeptanz finden und große und bekannte Dienste wie Digg dazu beitragen diese Standards zu [...]

Happy Birthday „real world semantics“

Gestern vor vier Jahren hielten Tantek Çelik and Kevin Marks eine Präsentation über "real world semantics". Die Präsentation machte an Beispielen wie XFN und einigen rel-Design-Pattern klar, wie es Designern und Entwicklern möglich ist, mit bestehenden Formaten wie X/HTML semantisch zu arbeiten.

Mittlerweile hat sich aus ein paar HTML Design Pattern eine große Open-Standards-Bewegung entwickelt, aus der noch mind. ein Duzent neuer (sog.) Mikroformate heraus entstanden sind. [...]

Googles Social Graph API

Wie schon mehrfach berichtet wurde, hat Google mit der Social Graph API einen großen Schritt in Richtung DataPortability gemacht. Die Social Graph API ist eine weiterer Coup von Brad Fitzpatrick (Live Journal, memcached und OpenID) und bietet eine einfache API um "public connections" die man zu genüge im Netz erstellt hat zu interpretieren um wiederverwendbar zu machen.

With the Social Graph API, developers can now utilize public connections their users have already created in other web [...]

DiSo – Microformats, OpenID, Portable Social Networks

DiSo steht für distributed social networking concepts und ist ein Schirm-Projekt für Open Source Social Networking Tools/Plugins haupsächlich für WordPress: DiSo (dee • so) is an umbrella project for a group of open source implementations of these distributed social networking concepts. Genauer gesagt geht es darum, offene Standards wie z.B. XFN, OpenID oder sonstige Microformats […]

dataportability.org

Standardized Data Portability is the next great frontier for the web. As users, our identity, photos, videos and other forms of personal data should be discoverable by, and shared between our chosen tools or vendors. We need a DHCP for Identity. A distributed File System for data. This page will list the standards and contributors who are making it happen.

Mal gespannt was aus dataportability.org wird, hört sich auf alle Fälle schon mal sehr spannend an. Vielleicht findet ja endlich [...]
