We discussed terminology on the Verifiable Claims Task Force call today and left two things undecided. We really need to get this terminology straight in order to align the prose in all of the documents. As a first step, we need to get all of the options on the table. ------- We have a block in our architecture block diagram that is currently labeled as "inspector": http://w3c.github.io/webpayments-ig/VCTF/architecture/architecture.svg This is the entity that requests a set of verifiable claims from the holder and examines them to determine if they are valid for the purposes of granting access to a particular resource. Naming options include: Consumer Inspector Reader Verifier Receiver ------- We agreed to relabel the word "Credential" with a modifier in order to reduce confusion with other "credential initiatives". Naming options include: Identity Credential Digital Credential Web Credential ------- Please add to these list of options with the following caveats: 1. If you propose something, make sure that you're the champion for that term. Don't suggest something that you wouldn't want as the #1 pick. 2. If you propose something, make an argument for the use of that term and an argument against all of the other terms. 3. Don't send "me too" emails. If you want to weigh in, please make sure you're making an argument that no one else has made in order to cut down on the number of emails sent to the mailing list. We are going to collect input until midnight on Thursday and put up two Generalized Instant Runoff Voting[1] polls on Friday. The polls will be open for a week and will determine the final terminology we'll use across all of the documents. -- manu [1]https://www.opavote.com/methods#instant-runoff-voting -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny, G+: +Manu Sporny) Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc.
