Data Models 1.X
Revision as of 19:40, 14 February 2008 by Paul.socialphysics.org (Talk | contribs)
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:
- The I-Card Metaphor
- End-user concept of I-Cards and an Identity Selector to manage them
- Identity Services Concepts
- Involves the concepts of Claim, Digital Identity, Security Token and other objects used by Identity Providers, Relying Parties, Service Providers and Identity Selectors
- 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 Higgins Global Graph Background for more information about the motivations for and design goals behind the model.
