OpenID: Data Management

Data Management Update on SREG, AX, OAuth, WRAP, Portable Contacts, and Activity Streams OpenID UX Summit, Chicago Joseph Smarr Feb 25, 2010

Context

Building blocks of an open, distributed social web
Core Identity Plumbing
OpenID, OAuth, WRAP, webfinger, XRD, LRDD, host-meta
Profiles & Social Graph
SREG, AX, Portable Contacts
Content Sharing & Aggregation
RSS, ATOM, Activity Streams, MediaRSS, PubSubHubbub, Salmon

So where are we at?
Lots more useful attributes being shared
Validated e-mail addresses, OAuth tokens, profile photos, etc.
Not much “lifecycle management”
Updated data being sent to RPs
Profile / graph data flowing back from RPs
Foundations of a “virtuous cycle of social discovery”
Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn, AOL
Not (yet) much evidence of how well it’s working, but it’s still early days
Some overlap in technologies, but mainly complementary building blocks
Still evolving rapidly, but safe to play now, so come on in!
