OpenWeb-Notizen: federated social web, Facebook, Microsoft

The federated social web
Chris Messina nennt es Distributed Social Network (kurz DiSo), Khris Loux nennt es SynapticWeb, Chris Saad nennt es Interoperable Web und Evan Prodromou führt einen weiteren Begriff ein: „federated social web„. Der Status.Net (vorher identi.ca/laconi.ca) Gründer erklärt in zwei Blogposts sehr ausführlich und anschaulich was das „federated social web“ ist und wie es funktionieren könnte.

“Open” can mean a lot of different things. A federated social web is specific: it means that there are distinct entities that control parts of the system, but those parts are connected with agreed-upon rules to make a pleasing and usable whole.

Oder wie Chris Saad es ausdrückt Open is not enough. Time to raise the bar: Interoperable

Microsofts Identity “Mash-up”
Microsoft bastelt an einem Identity “Mash-up” und kombiniert die unterschiedlichsten Systeme miteinander.

[…] we chose to create an intermediary Security Token Service that understands the OpenID protocol (used by PayPal), WS-Federation protocol and SAML 1.1 tokens (used by Medtronic apps). This intermediary STS enables SSO between the web applications, avoiding re-authentication with the original identity provider (PayPal).

Und warum das ganze? Weil ’s geht 🙂
