Sure, here at Adobe we have an internal social networking site that we developed to help users find what and who they need to get their job done. That site gets a feed of users from SAP everyday that we dif on and insert new people into an oracle db.
When users go to our website we hit the corporate LDAP to auth them then I take that auth'ed UID and get the users profile data from the Oracle db. We have a new version of the site where I have incorporated the OpenSocial gadget spec into. I now need to implement the OpenSocial data spec and I also want to more more toward RDF and triple / quad stores for our data. That's where you come in. :) I love your product so far minus the ODS fault I currently have that kills the whole server. My plan at the moment is to * tie your platform into LDAP for auth * import our whole employee base login wise one time * setup a job to import new users and changes daily ( account wise ) * import or map our Oracle people and social data into ODS people and connections and what not * wire your ODS OpenSocial API's into the gadget container on our site. Does that help?

Ultimately, you could tweak the system so that LDAP and ODS are kept in sync. Are you are liberty to share the potential usage scenario re. ODS? For instance is this for use within Adobe or somewhere else et?
