The critical thing to note about WebID is that the term refers to an HTTP URI that denotes an Agent, it isn't inextricably bound to any authentication protocol. WebID It isn't a protocol. On the other hand, OpenID is an authentication protocol tightly coupled with HTTP URL based entity denotation. Thus, its best you align WebID-TLS and OpenID which are both authentication protocols. -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Founder & CEO OpenLink Software Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Personal Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter Profile: https://twitter.com/kidehen Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/+KingsleyIdehen/about LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen
