OpenSocial defines a
RESTful<http://www.opensocial.org/Technical-Resources/opensocial-spec-v081/restful-protocol>and
RPC<http://www.opensocial.org/Technical-Resources/opensocial-spec-v081/rpc-protocol>transport
that can be used to fetch and update profile data.

The WiaB server would implement
some<http://wiki.opensocial.org/index.php?title=Osapi.appdata_(v0.9)>of
the OpenSocial API's in order to serve up user
profile<http://wiki.opensocial.org/index.php?title=Opensocial.Person_(v0.9)>information.

At the very least, we can look at the
opensocial.Person<http://wiki.opensocial.org/index.php?title=Opensocial.Person_(v0.9)>object
as a reference for what to include in our own user profile
implementation.
