Documentation: Social Networks

This page documents patterns to use to describe social network accounts used by your organisation. In addition to linking to the account the foaf:accountName and foaf:accountServiceHomepage make the information more specific.

If the social network is not listed below, you can still use the same pattern for any social network account.

For the service homepage in these examples we've used the homepage from July 2014.
