RE: Trusted Digital Web: Whitepaper [Preview Draft]

BCC: CCG

Steve,

Let’s schedule some time.  I’m available around the 20th …21st?  (I’m in NYC Nov. 12-19.)

I agree with your feedback.  The scope of the whitepaper (and page count) grew faster than I could flesh everything out. …hence, it’s a Preview Draft.  It was a deadline driven deliverable …it was a popular topic at the Malta Blockchain Summit.  Jane King (from NYC/NASDAQ Innovators) and I had an interview, and, of course, it came up in the panel sessions I was involved in.

Hi Michael,
I really like a lot of the ideas you put forth in your WP, especially clearly separating the concepts of Identifiers and Identities, and the concept of Universal DID Data Services. I have a number of tactical comments I’d be happy to share with you. Overall though I am a bit confused with what the intended goal of the paper is. The problems you articulate describe a situation, but don’t demonstrate why they are problematic. Solutions you propose that are built upon the problem statements then becomes suspect. A wide range of statements are made from the really big picture: ‘replacing the World Wide Web’ to the very specific: ‘Camunda Modeler’ and it is hard to rationalize how or why to tie it all together. Maybe there are actually two or three white papers here.
$0.02

Happy to discuss further and hope you are having a great time in Malta! It looks like an awesome event.

-Steve

I've been working to extend the original did-spec work into a concept called Universal Digital Identifiers (Universal DIDs). In addition, I’ve started building an end-to-end platform and network that instantiates these capabilities called the Trusted Digital Web (TDW).



I've just published a fairly extensive #whitepaper (60 pages) describing the #TrustedDigitalWeb project.  The Preview Draft can be found here: https://hyperonomy.com/2019/11/06/trusted-digital-web-whitepaper/




Feedback is welcome.
