A WebID is an identifier used to name the subject of a profile document. It is first an foremost an identifier for naming agents. WebID-TLS is one of many protocols that can be used to authenticate credentials expressed in a profile document to which a WebID resolves. Resolution can be implicit, courtesy of an "#" based fragment id tacked on to a profile page url or explicitly via content negotiation. Unfortunately, WebID has been mired in the same terminology conflation woes that have afflicted RDF (and related matters) at large. Increasingly, courtesy of Google's schema.org push, many webpages ( HTML docs) are simply evolving into profile documents i.e., this generally misunderstood concept is quietly becoming mainstream -- even though SEO using Schema.org (i.e., Semantic SEO) is the prime driver. -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Founder & CEO OpenLink Software Home Page: http://www.openlinksw.com Community Support: https://community.openlinksw.com Weblogs (Blogs): Company Blog: https://medium.com/openlink-software-blog Virtuoso Blog: https://medium.com/virtuoso-blog Data Access Drivers Blog: https://medium.com/openlink-odbc-jdbc-ado-net-data-access-drivers Personal Weblogs (Blogs): Medium Blog: https://medium.com/@kidehen Legacy Blogs: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen/ http://kidehen.blogspot.com Profile Pages: Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/kidehen/ Quora: https://www.quora.com/profile/Kingsley-Uyi-Idehen Twitter: https://twitter.com/kidehen Google+: https://plus.google.com/+KingsleyIdehen/about LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen Web Identities (WebID): Personal: http://kingsley.idehen.net/public_home/kidehen/profile.ttl#i : http://id.myopenlink.net/DAV/home/KingsleyUyiIdehen/Public/kingsley.ttl#this
