Social Network and Data Portability using Semantic Web Technologies
Social network and data portability has recently gained a lot of interest as one of the issues for social media sites on the Web. In this paper, we will show how Semantic Web technologies and especially the FOAF and SIOC vocabularies can be used to model user information and user-generated content in a machine-readable way. Thus, we will see how data and network information can be reused among various services and applications, at almost zero-cost for developers of such tools.

services, have captured the attention of millions of users as well as billions of dollars in investment and acquisition. To better enable a user’s access to multiple sites, portability between social media sites is required in terms of (1) identification, personal profiles and friend networks and (2) user’s content expressed on each site, whether it is about blog posts, pictures, bookmarks or any type of data. Such portability would allow users to easily exchange content between services, or merge and share their social network between various websites. This requires representation mechanisms to interconnect both people and objects on the Web in an interoperable, machine-understandable, and extensible way. The Semantic Web, which is an extension of the current Web in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation [3], provides those required representation mechanisms for portability between social media sites: it links people and objects to record and represent the heterogeneous ties that bind each to the other. The FOAF initiative [8] provides a solution to the first requirement
