OpenSocial specifies APIs for social networking applications, including authentication and authorization and also extended functions such as profiles. The primary goal of OpenSocial is to provide a common framework developers can use to ensure interoperability across various social networks on the Internet, which act as containers for each OpenSocial-compliant application.
