I'm not sure where you've found rel="media". I don't know of any 
specification that recommends it. One or more of the following seem more 
appropriate:

	* rel="me" (from XFN)
	* rel="contact" (from HTML5 drafts)
	* rel="author" (from HTML5 drafts)
	* rel="DC.creator" (using Dublin Core + RFC 2731)
	* rev="made" (commonly used)

These can be combined, e.g.:

	<link	rel="contact me DC.creator author"
		rev="made"
		type="text/directory"
		title="vCard"
		href="http://example.com/vcard.html"
	/>

Personally, for linking to contact info, I just use:
	
	<link 	rel="DC.creator" 
		rev="made" 
		type="text/html"
		title="Toby Inkster"
		href="http://tobyinkster.co.uk/~tobyink/"
	>
