The topic came up from mattl on IRC of linking two accounts together, say, for example on status.net and libre.fm.
I discussed the FOAF perspective with timbl and it seems there is a relatively straightforward solution to this:
1a. In libre.fm foaf is at ( say libre.fm/mattl )
1b. In status.net foaf is at ( say status.net/mattl )
2. You just need a add a sameAs link between the two in your FOAF.
<http://libre.fm/mattl> sameAs <http://status.net/mattl>
And you're done.
Web 3.0 enabled search engines, visualization tools (e.g. tabulator), and inferencers, should be able to understand this and make semantic inferences appropriately. It also makes federated single sign more straightforward.
"a hub sort of hub approach" it was described by timbl ... hope that helps!
