Identity statements are very important.  Design somewhat mandates
verification of a related credential, as to verify 'chain of trust' as far
as i'm aware; yet therein,

from a standards point of view...

HTML is used to create terrible websites alongside very good ones, ones
that people depend upon.  that's not the standard, that's how people use
it.  Yet, perhaps ontology design is an important counterpart.

WebID for instance is fairly specific when it refers to ontologies and even
serialisation formats: https://www.w3.org/wiki/WebID

IMHO amongst the challenges is defining means to support industrial
development of sameAs as is asserted by way of a verifiable document format.

Yet, it is the authority who is able to relate a plurality of assertions.
amongst the questions is how they're asserted on a symmetrical or
a-symmetrical basis.

Another one that's well considered is the 'after death' concept; so,
someone dies, what happens with their data?

I have a contact who's very good within the domain of that specified
field.  It may be a good use-case to examine the types of issues your
considering.  it also has a plurality of end-points which makes it somewhat
better than the prescription use-case, whilst describing the same type of
conditions statements.
