I would like to talk about the lesson’s from last weeks DID:BTCR hackathon,
in particular inspired by the use case and tech concept as described here:

https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-fall2017/blob/master/topics-and-advance-readings/RWOT-User-Story.md


As I describe in this issue
https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-fall2017/issues/12#issuecomment-315569411

First, please forgive in advance the specific words I'm using below — they
are used more to signify the different placeholders as opposed to a well
thought out proposal as which words should be used.

….

The logic of my ordering of these different spectrum words started with the
name of the working group, Verifiable Claims.


   - INTEGRITY CHECK includes malformation and cryptographic signature or
      proof checks - this is defined by the signature system spec
      - INSPECT INTO means looking inside for something and then going
      outside to get it — this is defined by the data model spec
      - VALIDATION means that the conform to rules of the DID spec and the
      specific DID method.
      - VERIFICATION means that that everything is self-consistently
      INTEGRAL, the INSPECTIONS reveal no problems with VALIDITY, and thus the
      whole can be VERIFIED.
      - CONFIRMATION relies of the VERIFIABLE CLAIMS to then make possibly
      more human judgements on different trust models to be used by the
      Web-Of-Trust. It also somewhat analogous to Bitcoin's terminology, where
      transactions require multiple CONFIRMATIONS.
      - REVOCATION deals with the edge cases where things go wrong. There
      may need to be processes associated with "where things go wrong" at each
      the stages above, as revocation currently may be an overloaded term.

Next week I’d like to talk about lessons about the Verifiable Claims that
we created as part of the Hackaton.
