melvster1 i think ive worked out how to resolve indieweb and solid
# melvster1 it's quite a bit of work but doable
# melvster1 essentially the idea of indieweb is that your homepage is an indirect identifier for a person
# melvster1 in solid a homepage is exactly that, a homepage and an http document, the primary topic of which is a person, normally indicated with a #me type anchor
# melvster1 what could be done is a service to get the primary topic from an http document
# melvster1 either
# melvster1 1) follow your nose eg if the primaryTopic is indicated
# melvster1 2) using a service where it can be registered or guessed
# melvster1 3) using a well known default, e.g. #this
# melvster1 at that point all the key value pairs that were originally attributed to a document could be attributed to the primary topic
# melvster1 this would allow solid to work with pretty much any pages over http
# melvster1 for indieweb to work with solid it would have to use the rdf libraries for discovery, and note the correct #me uris that other people use to identify themselves
# melvster1 so it's theoretically possible
# melvster1 just a lot of work
# melvster1 tho kinsley's team is working on such things already
# melvster1 my guess is that at some point they will be incorporated into the libraries
# melvster1 but that could take another year
