The Higgins framework is has three layers:

; The middle layer: Provides web services for Identity Providers and Relying Parties
 
; The lower (data) layer: This layer is based on a data model abstraction includes data stores called [[Context]]s, the [[Entity | Entities]]s within them, the [[Attribute]]s on each [[Entity]], and the links (called [[Relation]]s) between them. This is the "pure" data layer. The abstract data model is realized as concrete data by the [[Identity Attribute Service]] (IdAS) and supporting [[Context Provider]]s.

The Data Model provides a common representation for identity, profile and relationship data to enable interoperability and data portability across heterogeneous sites and systems. The model is described in these sections:

Information Cards

The Information Card (aka I-Card) metaphor includes the end-user concept of I-Cards and an Identity Selector to manage them

Tokens and Claims

Higgins supports identity service concepts such as Claim, Digital Identity, Security Token and other objects used by Identity Providers, Relying Parties, Service Providers and Identity Selectors

Context Data Model

The Context Data Model 1.0 describes a data model that can makes portable and interoperable data from heterogeneous data sources such as enterprise directories, databases, communications networks, and social networks
