Regarding OWL, as applies to the 3 sections above, consider the use of
Inverse Functional Properties (IFPs), which already are used in Solid.
They allow a profile to be tied to other social networks with inferences.

https://www.w3.org/wiki/InverseFunctionalProperty

You may also want to consider adding nostr, which is a new, but rapidly
growing social protocol, popular with free software folks and grass roots:
( https://nostr.com/ )

An advantage of this is that it has migration from app to app built in, as
well as many social clients and apps (chat, microblogging, microapps).

There is already at least one nostr/fediverse bridge that is working pretty
well.  Hopefully more to come!
