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:

I-Cards

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

Tokens and Claims
