At
Facebook's core is the social graph: people and the connections they
have to everything they care about. Historically, Facebook has managed
this graph and has expanded it over time as we launch new products (ex:
photos, places). In 2010, we introduced an early version of open graph, an extension of the social graph, via the Open Graph protocol,
to include third-party websites and pages that people liked throughout
the web. We are now extending the open graph to include arbitrary
actions and objects created by third-party apps and enabling these apps
to integrate deeply into the Facebook experience.
Open graph allows apps to model user activities based on actions and objects. A running app may define the ability to “run” (action) a “route” (object). A reading app may define the ability to “read” (action) a “book” (object). A recipe app may define the ability to “cook” (action) to a “recipe” (object). Actions are verbs that users perform in your app. Objects define nouns that the actions apply to. We created sets of actions and objects for common use cases and a tool for you to create your own custom actions and objects. As users engage with your app, social activities are published to Facebook that connect the user with your objects, via your actions.
