Working on Federation of Profile Information with Open Knowledge community

Hello,

We have some nice use cases captured for online profiles.
https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialig/Use_Case_TF/Profile_Use_Cases

Today before Use Case TF telecon I will participate in G+ Hangout with
people leading Open Knowledge community. We will discuss next steps for
prototype of Portable Linked Profiles, which early prototype they
already test.

If someone feels interested in joining this hangout and exploring this
real world use case please feel warmly welcomed! I could also report on
it during our TF call later today! I also plan to fill out our Use Case
Template to capture requirements for federation of profiles between Open
Knowledge and Code for All networks.

Current example of overlap and duplication

Most people listed on that page participate in both, OK and CfA

BTW CfA has also API which we could include in our Social API research:

I already experimented with writing macro which turns data they harvest
from Github, Meetup APIs etc. into JSON-LD

I find it a great use case, especially that we can work with people
enthusiastic about open technologies, including many full time civic
hackers :)

Cheers!
