Problem Statement

There exists no standard way for the publication and sharing of friends and their relationships aggregated by social networks. XFN has most of the functionality needed but must be slightly extended to allow for the identification of the online network in which the contact is in, and the for the ability to group similar accounts.

Proposed Solution

Extend XFN, placing the XFN links in an unordered list. The list structure lends itself well to this task, as we will also require support for grouping in aggregate generators.

Use Cases

Social Networks

Social Network Aggregations

Blogs
