I'm interested in hearing from developers who've successfully mapped properties from <meta> tags in Web pages onto the Page type and its properties in AS2.

@evan hot take, why not just use the opengraph namespace/iris directly?

if the goal is to reduce duplication of data, i'd probably recommend the following

  • og:title = as:name
  • og:type = og:type (no way to map this one)
  • og:url = as:url
  • og:image = as:image

for optional ones:

  • og:description = as:summary

all the other ones i'd just use ogp.me iris directly

@evan i have only ever seen link previews implemented out-of-band due to trust issues :/

@evan yes, and it creates a sort of "thundering herd" unintentional ddos for web sites on underpowered providers. there have been ideas on how to solve the trust issue, like randomly verifying some small subset and tracking reputation, or like deferring to a semi-centralized pre-trusted "link preview provider" that is shared between several instances, or even simply ignoring the issue and depending on people to report misleading links. (i prefer the provider approach)
