Here are a few incomplete thoughts about what the structure for the Payment Agent document could be. 1. We may want to take a role based approach where we clearly identify the roles that a payment agent may be playing (payer / payee / merchant / customer / etc.). 2. For each role, we list a number of features that the role requires to play its part in the overall architecture. Here's a proposed subsection of the Table of Contents that we can discuss on the call tomorrow: * Payment Agent * Core Features * Identity/Credential Management * Digital Signatures * Linked Data * Payer (Customer) Features * Payment Instrument Management * Payer Authentication * Digital Receipt Storage * Coupon / Loyalty Management * Payee Communication * Payment Processor Communication * Payee (Merchant) Features * Offer of Sale / Invoice Generation * Digital Receipt Issuance * Refund Initiation * Payer Communication * Payment Processor Communication * Payment Processor Features * Payer / Payee Authentication * Settlement Network Communication * Payee Communication * Payer Communication Another approach is to try the phase-based approach, which I hope to get around to in the next few days. -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny, G+: +Manu Sporny) Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: The Marathonic Dawn of Web Payments http://manu.sporny.org/2014/dawn-of-web-payments/Received on Friday, 3 April 2015 05:42:04 UTC
