Interlinking Distributed Social Graphs
MATTHEW K. ROWE · Open Research Online (The Open University) · 2009
The rise in use of the social web has forced web users to duplicate their identity in fragmented information spaces. Commonly these spaces contain rich identity representations hidden within walled garden data silos. This paper presents work to export social graphs from such data silos as RDF datasets, and provide linkage between these social graphs according to a graph matching paradigm. Our work contributes to the linked data movement by providing a decentralised social graph containing linked data describing fragmented identity components.
