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.
