Hi All, My Name is Dileepa Jayakody, a Sri Lankan research student interested in semantic web, linked-data and digital identity concepts. I have been learning about WebID for past few days and I'm most interested about possibilities of WebID integration to provide a verified digital identity solution across multiple domains (SNS, email, blogs etc). I'm interested in applying for Google Summer of Code (GSoC) this year and there are 2 projects which were most interesting for me. Both are from Apache Stanbol <http://stanbol.apache.org/> project which suits my research interests on semantic web. 1. Using Semantic Concepts in Federated Social Web : STANBOL-1009<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STANBOL-1009> 2. Entity Disambiguation for Stanbol : STANBOL-1037<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STANBOL-1037> For both use-cases I find WebID an excellent option. For use-case-1, WebID can be used for federated social-web as it supports a user-profile with links to friend lists, photos etc, with ability to control access to such resources over social-graph. For use-case-2 'Person' disambiguation can be tacked by developing a disambiguation algorithm by using WebID as a verified digital identity. Stanbol uses Apache Clerezza <http://incubator.apache.org/clerezza/> as a RDF engine, and AFAIK Clerezza supports WebID. However when I discussed with Stanbol guys on their dev-list I got to know the WebID support is currently disabled due to recent changes in WebID spec and changes in jaxrs architecture. I would very much like to know your suggestions and ideas on integrating WebID for above use-cases. Further I would like your help in understanding the architecture of WebID and how I can integrate it in existing systems to provide a verified digital identity. Looking forward to your ideas. Thanks, Dileepa
