!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is an open [protocol] for developers to make it easier for developers to give their users a secure way to access the address books and friends lists they have built up all over the web.
%%information
Although we think [{$pagename}] is extremely important, this project appears to be stalled with no updates since 2009.
%%
The goal of the [project|http://portablecontacts.net/|target='_blank'] is to increase data portability by creating a common and open specification to bridge proprietary contacts [Application Programing Interfaces] ([API]) such as [Google]'s GData Contacts API, [Yahoo]'s Address Book API, and [Microsoft's Live|Windows Live] Contacts [API].
[{$pagename}] combines
* [OAuth]
* [XRDS-Simple]
* a wire-format based on vCard
harmonized with schema from [OpenSocial].
The editor of Portable Contacts specification was Joseph Smarr of Plaxo and the project co-maintained by Chris Messina.
Portable Contacts is used by services such as:
* [Google] Contacts
* Windows Live Messenger Connect[2]
* as well as other specification such as OStatus.
