 From Facebook:

Every object in the social graph has a unique ID. You can access the 
properties of an object by requesting https://graph.facebook.com/ID. For 
example, the official page for the Facebook Platform has id 19292868552, 
so you can fetch the object at https://graph.facebook.com/19292868552:

{
    "name": "Facebook Platform",
    "website": "http://developers.facebook.com",
    "username": "platform",
    "founded": "May 2007",
    "company_overview": "Facebook Platform enables anyone to build...",
    "mission": "To make the web more open and social.",
    "products": "Facebook Application Programming Interface (API)...",
    "likes": 449921,
    "id": 19292868552,
    "category": "Technology"
}
Alternatively, people and pages with usernames can be accessed using 
their username as an ID. Since "platform" is the username for the page 
above, https://graph.facebook.com/platform will return what you expect. 
All responses are JSON objects.

All objects in Facebook can be accessed in the same way:

Users: https://graph.facebook.com/btaylor (Bret Taylor)  -- 
higher-fidelity Linked Data URI: 
http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/about/id/https/graph.facebook.com/btaylor

Pages: https://graph.facebook.com/cocacola (Coca-Cola page)  -- 
higher-fidelity Linked Data URI: 
http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/about/id/entity/https/graph.facebook.com/cocacola  
(*confusion example too as an organization is deemed to be a page*)

Groups: https://graph.facebook.com/195466193802264 (Facebook Developers 
group) -- higher-fidelity Linked Data URI: 
http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/about/id/https/graph.facebook.com/195466193802264

etc...
