To avert confusion, it is really important that we have a common understanding of what the term WebID denotes. Accepting the established definition of WebID [2] is compatible with "Web Identity 1.0" once some tweaks are made to existing term definitions, basically we end up with: */identifier/* An HTTP URI that denotes an entity. */identity card/* Information that can be used to identify a particular entity such as a person, animal, or organization. */identity card owner/* An entity that is in control of a particular identity card. */identity card provider (or host)/* A website providing access to an identity or set of identities. */requestor/* A user agent that is requesting to access and/or modify an identity.
