This is essentially the "vision" part. "Philosophy and the Social Web" http://www.slideshare.net/bblfish/philosophy-and-the-social-web-5583083 All about what the web is, how it fits together architecturally and why Identity is core to it, and why it is so important to have it decentralised. > HOW should presumably describe the necessary deliverables and the > strategy for getting these adopted.

What, with an order of delivery - WebID for authenticaiton - Authentication ontologies - to describe who can access what resource (ACL work at W3C) - privacy ontologies (what can be done with the data) - logics to tie any other auth system into WebID: so you can can show how different authentiction systems work - formalised trust logics One does not need the whole stack. WebID works pretty well, combines nicely with openid, and can be used to start building the platform. My feeling is more that for some psychological reason, the obvious solutions (to me) seem to be invisible to a lot of people in this space.
