Subject Holder Relationship

Hi Everyone

given that today we discussed the topic of subject not being the holder,
I thought I would try to classify the different types of VC that a
verifier might receive, given all the possible relationships between
subject, holder, issuer and verifier. I attach a jpeg picture that
depicts my first thoughts on how we might classify the different types
and/or ways that a VC might be presented to a verifier, in the shape of
a binary decision tree. I find the diagram useful in that it is trying
to capture the wide variety of possibilities, and eventually we will
need to cover them all in either the data model or protocols or both, if
we are not to leave gaps in our specifications.

If this is worth pursuing further then maybe this should be put on the
web somewhere, and/or distributed to the CCG as well - please advise.

kind regards

David
