Service Verb Direct Object Normalized Verb Normalized Direct Object Social Object Normalized Sentence Note
The name of the site/service/API/source/app A service specific "verb" (can be made up if the service is building new kinds of actions "e.g. to 'plurk'". "to _______" The object being acted upon. A "story" is "dugg." A "link" is "bookmarked." etc. The normalization of the service-specific verbs. This is where the subjectivity comes into play. Higher-level verbs construe the lower-level, site-specific, meaning. This list should be smaller than the "Verb" list. For example, to "star" is actually to "bookmark." To "plurk" is actually to "notice". To "tweet" is actually to "notice." etc. The normalization of the service-specific Direct Objects. Similar to the Normalized Verb, the Normalized Direct Object is an abstraction of all the Direct Objects in activity streams. For example, "tweets" "plurks" and "notices" (identi.ca) are all just "notices" ([1]). "Stars" are just "bookmarks." A noun. The socially abstracted, normalized, object resulting from the activity. general notes
