Suggestions welcomed, Along with many others, Tim Bray has been talking about identity providers (IDP) for some time now [1], so perhaps an example with URLs for Facebook / Google+ / Microsoft / Twitter IDs would be appropriate examples here (hello, FOAF territory)? The Jane Doe example in http://schema.org/Person could have a list of her social service identities added via http://schema.org/sameAs. We could reuse that section of examples on the "sameAs" page. A small challenge will be to avoid linking to an actual account for one of the real services, as "examplecom" and "janedoe" are valid accounts on at least one site, and enterprising (ahem) people might set up an account to grab what is currently an invalid account in the future... 1. https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/What/Technology/Identity/
