Thanks a lot Melvin for your reply. I will further read about WebID docs to gather more knowledge. I took a look at myprofile project, created my own WebID : https://my-profile.eu/people/dileepa/card#me :) Another aspect I'm looking at is, how WebID differs from existing identity technologies like OpenID <http://openid.net/>. Is the fundamental difference, the support for linked-data and the stateless nature of WebID?
