There are trends towards integrating both content- and contact-oriented platforms. However, social networks remain as data silos in relation to each other. This contribution proposes an architecture for distributed social networking. Based on the notion of distributed user-centric identity, our proposal extends this by attaching profile information. It also bridges the gap between distributed identity and distributed publishing capabilities. 2008-02-29T06:45:26-08:00 2008-02-29T13:35:46-08:00
