No, it won't. You will never be able to map all the contents of every VC, by hand, to CBOR without an automated mapping mechanism. The approach you're suggesting works when you have a small, closed world model, but fails to scale when you have an open world model. A mechanism that does this mapping automatically, from VCs to CBOR, does exist in CBOR-LD: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ksh-gUdjJJwDpdleasvs9aRXEmeRvqhkVWqeitx5ZAE/edit That's clearly not an option for those that want to avoid using any Linked Data technologies. I suggest you find a way to do auto-mapping to CBOR and not hand-pick values in the VC Data Model to convert to CBOR tags/numbers (artisnal CBOR)... you will fail to achieve CBOR's benefits when coupling a strategy for closed world models with a decentralized, open world ecosystem. -- manu -- Manu Sporny - https://www.linkedin.com/in/manusporny/ Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc.
