Map of Specifications

I have published a v1.0 of my attempt at a map of the major specification
documents related to verifiable credentials especially those centered
around this group but also including a few DIF documents, and MATTR
documents.

The intent is to help a newcomer with understanding some of the
specification landscape. (Plus to let me acquire the same knowledge by
creating the map). It will not likely be of great value to many on this
list currently as you are already much more familiar. But for a newcomer
this may prove valuable.

There are some intentional omissions in this version around areas of SIOP,
storage, universal wallet and numerous other documents. This version was
considered, by me, the minimum mapping to be done. If someone walks this
tree of specifications they will then likely be in a good position to
understand everything that lies outside of it. That said, please let me
know via an issue in the repo or an email of significant errors and
omissions. Or if this has a gross conceptual error please raise that so
that I can remove it all together.

The diagram is done in diagram.net/draw.io thus free to view and edit and
is open source. https://github.com/jgraph/drawio. If you go to
https://draw.io you can then open the diagram source file. The release also
includes a png output of the diagram.

Below is the diagram release link:

On a side note the following is also an excellent resource with some
similar information that if you find value in this document will certainly
find value in Nader Helmy's document:
