Socials

Where Your Audience Lives

Socials is an OPF reference dimension for platform ids and handles. Use keys such as linkedin, x, or github in Organization.socials or Speaker.socials so renderers can resolve the right glyph, brand color, and URL.

Social Metadata Rules

1

Use platform ids

OPF stores stable lowercase keys such as linkedin and github, not display names that can drift across rebrands.

2

Keep handles selective

One to three social handles in a footer is usually enough. More turns metadata into visual noise.

3

Let the catalog resolve

Renderers use the platform record for the URL pattern, handle prefix, brand color, and icon treatment.
