I didn't see our focus right now being on solving for authentication protocols and URI combinations. I believe the primary objective is to propel WebID forward by delineating its essence and its potential usage, especially within the context of Solid. The shift from understanding WebID as an HTTP URI that identifies an Agent to something else doesn't align with the aforementioned goal. Presently, we utilize the term NetID for a URI that identifies an Agent, grounded on the reality that we have authentication services accommodating a range of schemes right from the outset. The discourse around WebID and Solid Lite seems to diverge slightly from the issues pertinent to a NetID. Furthermore, with billions of pages on the Web currently utilizing HTTP URIs to identify Agents, it seems prudent to harness this established practice with the existing WebID definition. Isn't the ultimate aim to employ HTML profile documents, encompassing RDF structured data islands (i.e., metadata articulated through various RDF notations), via a more streamlined derivative of Solid? -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Founder & CEO OpenLink Software Home Page:http://www.openlinksw.com Community Support:https://community.openlinksw.com Weblogs (Blogs): Company Blog:https://medium.com/openlink-software-blog Virtuoso Blog:https://medium.com/virtuoso-blog Data Access Drivers Blog:https://medium.com/openlink-odbc-jdbc-ado-net-data-access-drivers Personal Weblogs (Blogs): Medium Blog:https://medium.com/@kidehen Legacy Blogs:http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen/ http://kidehen.blogspot.com Profile Pages: Pinterest:https://www.pinterest.com/kidehen/ Quora:https://www.quora.com/profile/Kingsley-Uyi-Idehen Twitter:https://twitter.com/kidehen Google+:https://plus.google.com/+KingsleyIdehen/about LinkedIn:http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen Web Identities (WebID): Personal:http://kingsley.idehen.net/public_home/kidehen/profile.ttl#i :http://id.myopenlink.net/DAV/home/KingsleyUyiIdehen/Public/kingsley.ttl#this
