Re: California - Verifiable Credentials

They do mention DIDs right Tony?

and then right after that "Verifiable digital identity credentialing"

"An additional standard, Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0 is emerging
as an alternative for verifiable digital identity credentialing.

The proposed solution should adhere to these defined standards"


So it doesn't sound to me like it is ONLY about mDLs and mDocs


And sure enough...when I got the link
<https://sam.gov/opp/5999b677ac2f485997560355643bf7fa/view> from Steve and
checked....voila - the VC data model is in the references :)
