Hi all: A simple yet powerful usage of this service with the OGP may be to accept the CURIEs (compact URIs) of www.productontology.org as literal values for ogp:type, e.g. <meta property="og:type" content="pto:Laser_printer"/> This would give Facebook unprecedented precision without the need to maintain the type identifiers, plus up to 100 translations for the types. Full example for http://www.shopping.hp.com/product/printer/Photosmart/1/storefronts/CN731A%2523B1H <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:og="http://ogp.me/ns#" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml"> <head> <title>The Rock (1996)</title> <meta property="og:title" content="HP Photosmart e-All-in-One Printer - D110a"/> <meta property="og:type" content="pto:Laser_printer"/> <meta property="og:url" content="http://www.shopping.hp.com/product/printer/Photosmart/1/storefronts/CN731A%2523B1H"/> <meta property="og:image" content="http://hpshopping.speedera.net/s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/HPShopping/cn731a_main?$full3_fmt$"/> <meta property="og:site_name" content="HP"/> <meta property="fb:admins" content="USER_ID"/> <meta property="og:description" content="Print lab-quality photos, everyday documents, and Web content on the fly, without Using a PC.
