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 Data Model is described in these sections:

The I-Card Metaphor
- end user concept of I-card and Identity Selector
Identity Services Concepts
Describes Claim, Digital Identity, Security Token and other
Higgins Global Graph
Describes graph-based data model that overlays, unifies, makes portable and makes interoperable identity data from "silos" such as enterprise directories, databases, and social networks.

See Data Model Background for more information about the motivations for and design goals behind the model.
