The most common way of doing this I have found is just adding a rel="me" 
to the page owners hcard some examples in the wild are :

Social networks:

<a class="url homepage" rel="me" 
href="http://steve.ganz.name/">steve.ganz.name</a>

<a target="_blank" rel="me nofollow" class="url"

Blogs and home pages:
