Schemas or Models of Credentials and Issuers

Credentials Community Group,

In a decentralized identity model, various issuers can provide identifying credentials (nations, states, cities, universities, banks, companies, etc.).

While querying digital wallets is still a pioneer topic and a work in progress, we can envision that a verifiable profile is composed by a user, utilizing a set of credentials, in response to a query or request. We can envision that a set of attributes may be requested, each attribute may be optional or required for a request, and, for each attribute, data and metadata about pertinent credentials and issuers may be specified or described, defining acceptable credentials per attribute.

Topical is describing credentials’ and issuers’ data and metadata so that a verifier can ensure that a verifiable profile is composed from a set of acceptable credentials. I would like to ask about schemas or models of credentials and issuers.


Best regards,
