Flatten Solutions into the 3 solutions areas (nav structure change)

  • Change left-hand navigation menu
    • Explode "Solutions" into the three "solutions areas": Higgins Selector, Identity Services, Attribute Services
      • Replace the single "Solutions" word in the left-hand-nav with the three solutions areas words (Higgins Selector,...etc.)
  • Eliminate Solutions 1.0 and Solutions 1.1 pages moving their current (duplicative/conflicting) content into the appropriate sections of these pages (thereby eliminating overlap/conflict with these pages):
  • NOTE: the above 3 pages should all be wiki pages so that they are kept better up to date. The php pages are usually out of date at any given moment.
  • Tuck the XDI4J solution underneath the "Attribute Services" solution-area instead of treating it as an orphaned fourth solution area
  • Benefits:
    • Consistency: left hand nav would now be CONSISTENT with the home page (three + misc) vertical "doors"
    • Eliminate duplication/conflict mentioned above
    • Flatter structure: we've now organized our solutions into these four buckets, clicking on each brings you straight there
    • More digestible: the reason we created the "four doors" approach was to chuck Higgins up. Solutions mashes all these disparate solutions back together again.

Reorganizing Solutions

Proposal:

 TODAY        -->        PROPOSED
 =====                   ========

 Clients                 Higgins Selector
 -------                 ----------------
 AIR Client & Server     AIR Selector (including ICS)
                         Web Selector (including ICS)
 ICM[missing!]           merged into the above
 RCP                     no change
 GTK/Cocoa               no change
 FF-embedded             no change
 
 Identity Services       Identity Services
 -----------------       -----------------
 WS-Trust IdP            no change
 SAML IdP                no change
 RP                      no change
 Web Selector            moved up above
 XDI4J                   moved down below
                 
 Identity Att. Svcs      Attribute Services
 ------------------      ------------------
                         IDS - multiprotocol web service
                         XDI4J - now moved here
                         IdAS - today's Java framework

 Where IDS is short for "Identity Attribute Service," a multiprotocol
 attribute data service (web service) based on IdAS framework.


Eliminate "Higgins Data Model" (nav structure change)

  • Tuck the Context Data Model as a solution under the "IdAS" solution area
  • Eliminate the overarching Higgins Data Model it has been a placeholder for years. The only substance is in the CDM which is ONLY used by IdAS solutions
