The document discusses leveraging semantics on social networks to address issues with existing disconnected social media sites. It describes how using common semantic formats like FOAF, SIOC and XFN/hCard to describe users, content and connections could allow interoperability between sites and alleviate problems like having separate profiles on different networks. Social networks could also serve as data sources for semantic applications if they describe objects and relationships in standardized ways.
