The Open Graph Protocol is a new methodology for storing metadata to make it easier for third party sites (think the Facebook LIKE button) to identify relevant content on your page.
It looks like this:
<title>The Rock (1996)</title>
<meta property="og:title" content="The Rock" />
<meta property="og:type" content="movie" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117500/" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/rock.jpg" />
The question is, if you have multiple LIKE buttons on a page, each for a different article, how does one differentiate the Open Graph meta tags that belong to the article, not the page itself. Since the tags go in the HEAD is seems you only get one set per page.
Can Open Graph be "namespaced" or associated with content within the page, rather than the page itself?

Just go to Page Settings > Social Image > Upload. If you need to add other OG tags and customize the default settings, go to Page Settings > Advanced > Page Header Code Injection. Read the following section on adding the tags manually and copy-paste the code there.
The four basic open graph tags that are required for each page are og:title , og:type , og:image , and og:url . These tags should be unique for each page you serve, meaning your homepage's tags should all be different from your blog post article's page.
Open Graph tags have no direct impact on the page's SEO, but they improve the display and the usability of your links on social media, which is no less essential. Let's take a look at the key Open Graph tags and how to use them.
As far as I know, you're stuck - but if you figure out a way, let me know!
I worked on a project that needed to have multiple Open Graph tags on a page - in the end, we ended up trimming down the number of items we needed OG for, so that we'd only have one story on a page.
