5 stars of web identity

I've blogged about the 5 stars of web identity

http://melvincarvalho.com/blog/the-five-stars-of-web-identity/

Where is webid (wrt The WebID protocol / TLS Spec) on the scale?


1. On the web

Yes


2. Use URIs

Yes


3. Structured data

Yes.  http for web, webfinger for email etc.

You should get 3* if your webid profile is well formed



4. Verified Identity

Yes.  The spec has presented one method specific to http / TLS / X.509

You should get 4* if you pass the validation test


5. Best practices

I give myself a "No" here.

Should our WebIDs be under https?  Yes!

Should we enable CORS? Yes!

Perhaps we should find some conditions for the best practices to gain 5 stars.


I really like the linked data badges.

Maybe we can one day give ourselves 5 stars for WebID :)
