Hi Bart, great to have you on board.

 I think I saw the demo of that in Switzerland at the European ID conference. Great User 
Interface work. And also this is a great example for the use of WebID. If I remember correctly
the use case is that firefighters often need access to documents that in usual circumstance should 
be protected (such as detailed house maps), but that they should only get access to those during an
emergency.

Let us know of any issues with WebID you come across, even if only simple documentation incoherences, that you may notice, or real issues you don't see how to solve. We'll be happy to help.
