The Open Graph Protocol is a specialized web page protocol used between client devices (computers, mobile phones, tablets, etc.). The protocol was initially designed for Facebook to enable developers to integrate their pages into Facebook's global mapping/tracking tool Social Graph. These pages gain the functionality of other graph objects including profile links and stream updates for connected users. In recent years the protocol gained wide spread use and also was integrated into functionality in major messaging apps. The protocol utilized in messaging apps such as iMessage adds the functionality whereby if a user shares a URL, the corresponding Open Graph metadata of the URL will allow for the display of the thumbnail or assigned image as part of the link.
