About
The Open Graph protocol is a web metadata standard that defines how webpages are described as structured objects for use in social graphs and enables their consistent representation.
It specifies a set of 
HTML meta properties that start with "og:" (such as og:title, og:type, og:image, and og:description) to add semantic meaning to a page's content and control how that content should be represented.
XHTML Friends Network (XFN) is an HTML microformat that represents human relationships by adding metadata to hyperlinks between websites and profiles.
It defines a set of standardized link relationship values such as friend, colleague, spouse, and acquaintance through the HTML "rel" attribute, and may be used by blogs, social networks, and personal websites to describe social connections in a machine-readable format.
