! So, what does this „social stuff“ mean?
! Things are getting more „social“. Collaboration should improve.

9. IBM Social Business Toolkit and Project Vulcan
! At Lotusphere 2010 IBM has introduced „IBM Project Vulcan“.
Since than it was somewhat quiet in this area.
! And what‘s „IBM Project Vulcan“?
! Well, it‘s a kind of blueprint for „social business“.
! It‘s IBM‘s vision to employ a consistent „social experience“
between all Lotus products, like Notes and Connections.
10. IBM Social Business Toolkit and Project Vulcan
! The IBM Social Business Toolkit (SBT) is IBM‘s way to make this
kind of consistent behavior happen. It‘s currently an API.
! The SBT will allow (programmatic) access to the new functionality,
like the activity stream or the embedded experience.

12. All about standards
! IBM is following their way of the last years:
they are leveraging industry standards!
! What does that mean for the SBT?
! Authentication through OAuth
! Data transmission with JSON or ATOM, based on Activitystrea.ms
! Embedded experience with OpenSocial gadgets
14. All about standards - OAuth

15. All about standards - OAuth
! Are there API’s? – Yes!
! Java, C#, Perl, Ruby, Python, Erlang, …
! http://oauth.googlecode.com
! http://oauth.net/code/
16. All about standards – Activitystrea.ms
! Is it an Activity Stream or Activitystrea.ms?
! Located at http://activitystrea.ms ;-)
17. All about standards – Activitystrea.ms
! The purpose of an Activity
Stream is to deliver
! content (information)
! to the user
! which has been appointed
! Maybe you‘ve heard the word
„river“ – that‘s it!
18. All about standards – Activitystrea.ms

He-Man raises his sword towards the moon.
! Consuming and provisioning could be occur using JSON or
ATOM.
19. All about standards – Gadgets
! OpenSocial Gadgets are specified by the OpenSocial initiative.
! The OpenSocial API is a collection of APIs to allow
communication between „social applications“

! They added a lot of stuff
! Apache Shinding
! WebSphere and DB2

requests, which could be executed in three different ways:
! HTTP GET Request
! HTTP POST Request
! HTTP DELETE Request
! You need to be authenticated first (via OAuth)!
25. HTTP GET
! Base URL: /rest/activitystreams/USER-ID/GROUP-ID/APP-ID
! User-ID: @me, @viewer, @owner, <specific>
! Group-ID: @all, @self
! App-ID: @all, <specific>
! Return: the Activity Stream in JSON/ATOM
26. HTTP POST
! Base URL: /rest/activitystreams/USER-ID
! User-ID: @me, @viewer, @owner, <specific>
! the Event data in JSON/ATOM
! Return: the „EVENT-ID“ in JSON/ATOM
