Ben, I assumed you attempted to explore WebID via my-profile.eu and hit some problems. Hence my comments. If you are interested in taking a quick look at what's possible with WebID and ACLs, I have a simple example on G+. Here are the components in use re. aforementioned demo: 1. WebID -- verifiable identifier in the form of a personal URI 2. X.509 Certificate -- watermarked with a WebID in its SAN slot 3. Profile Document -- a document with structured content based on the RDF data model 4. Access Control List Ontology -- this describes the authorization modes and how they are scoped to WebIDs. Links: 1. http://bit.ly/O4LNKf -- A simple guide to Web-scale verifiable identity that leverages WebID based ACLs . -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Founder & CEO OpenLink Software Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Personal Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca handle: @kidehen Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/112399767740508618350/about LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen
