one-way sameAs and friendOf links

I am trying to deal with the authority of sameAs and friendOf links.
Of course, if I set up a website and on there claim to be 'sameAs'
Bob, then a user search engine should not take that information as
authoritative and add the information i publish to Bob's real profile.
It should only trust outbound links.

Same for friendship. If i claim to be a friend of Bob, then the search
engine should interpret only that i am 'following' him. Only if Bob
links back to me should it be displayed as a bidirectional friendship.

This means we can't just take the "parent" identity as the main row in
search results. Because anybody can add a parent to anybody else, and
that way hijack their identity. But we also don't want to list one
person 7 times simply because they have accounts on 7 different
services/social tools. I find this a difficult problem to solve.


Cheers,
Michiel
