Usecase: Invite a friend


Usability

  • Get FOAF (resp. Find a friend)
  • Select this friend from the "address book"
  • Click on the invite widget

Protocol

TBD: How can we avoid spam? I would suggested via a "trust server"!

  • Get profile of friend and hence get friend's provider server
  • Get from friend's provider server the FOAF introspection (resp. the invite URL)
  • Send your profile to friend's provider invitation URL
  • Friend's provider server will contact "trust server" with your profile
  • If "trust server" acknowledges your profile as being trustworthy then your friend's provider server will contact your friend by forwarding your profile
