Because you said you did not search the web thoroughly: There is a standard called activitystreams ( http://http://activitystrea.ms/ ) that is designed to describe social interactions (activities) in atom/xml or json. Beyond the discovery and requesting stuff socml could be designed as an encryption wrapper for activitystreams. Or to make it very short socml=activitystreams+PGP ?

AS is released under the Open Web Foundation which should make it as patent free as anything put under IETF or W3C? See http://activitystrea.ms/licensing/ and http://www.openwebfoundation.org/
