Re: Comments on VCTF Report

Perhaps the problem statement needs to be cleared up in lay terms more effectively.

IMHO the inclusion of Linked-Data technology changes opportunities substantially.  I'm not clear on whether people who use internet generally or even many within the technical domain; are clear on the field of work of Linked-Data and the implications these works may have on the way communications technology interacts with life in a functional manner.

Purely RDBMS related web-technologies have properties and limitations that are unlike the functional properties made available via linked-data related alternatives..

Re: Payment Use-Cases,

- Warranty for products.
- History of Products (ie: vehicles repair records)
- Verified right to purchase (controlled products.)
- Invoices?  (i'm thinking about trades-people who may issue invoices in relation to services delivered)
- Accounting (verifying accounts have been audited)
- Verification of Payee (ie: paying the right person, who is a known legal entity, et.al <http://et.al/>.)
- Registrations for Commissions (inc. online royalties for sold creative works)

- Availability of (verified, financial) records in a privacy preserving way whilst enhancing capacity to more easily search / organise disparate records from a plurality of providers, through the utility of open-standards..

I can think of others...  Yet. Wasn't sure if you kept the list short purposefully...

Great, thanks Nick. That's what we're planning to propose as a next
step for the Verifiable Claims work during the Web Payments IG
face-to-face (see slide 11):
