Henry,

So it goes like this:

#me hasCertificate [ a cert:X509Certificate; hasFingerprint 
"F3:46:11:63:D9:5A:22:10:5F:4A:AD:65:33:50:DE:27" ; hasFingerprintDigest 
<md5> ]

-- structured data from Twitter space

The rest is transformation, and even better if said transformation is 
based on WOT ontology.
