about the technologies that come out of the Internet Identity
Workshop, with lots of information for future follow-up. The next
meeting will be a presentation on their work on privacy and social
networks by Josh and Soren, followed by a talk about the scoping and
deliverables of the portability task force.

PhilA? Took a look at discussion that took place, and wrote an
e-mail yesterday about it. Integrated comments that came back.
scribe: suggesting a charter for the task force
... aims to create a vocabulary, looking at existing ones for the
ubiquitous web
<rreck> i agree look for existing vocabularies
scribe: very close link between context and privacy
... should be link between task forces that look at privacy where
privacy issues are due to when context is the cause
<bblfish> sounds good. Starting with a vocab, would help find out
what the whole thing covers
hhalpin: DKA, you were talking about a geolocation API too, so may
be related
DKA: Ask Lars or Eric or some other chair to come and discuss issues
with privacy in the Geolocation WG

Invited Speaker: Kaliya Hamlin
kaliya: Hi everybody! Asks how many people here
hhalpin: About 20 people
<rreck> there are 22 people on irc
<hhalpin> Kaliya is from Internet Identity Workshop
kaliya: I sent you a lot of links, hope you read them, didn't send
additional ones with history and context of the community
<hhalpin> Which has been a quite important community and event in
creating notions of digital identity, openID.
kaliya: history is that Identity Commons came together to see how
individuals could manage and control their own identities
... so that they could own this layer of the web
... Community formed in 2004/2005 was really focussed on
user-centric identity
... Harry asked me to talk about high level strategies, key terms
are in the community lexicon which defines shared language (e.g. the
word identity)
... community stopped arguing about what identity meant, and
focussed more on identifiers
... and came to definitions of what claims where, in that they are
really just attributes
... claims can be made by yourself for yourself or by other entities
(e.g. companies, non-profits) for other people
<hhalpin> seems the important concepts so far: identifier and entity
(anything that can make a statement about an identifier)
kaliya: separation between authentication and authorisation, and
enrolment
<pchampin> entity ~ foaf:Agent? (just trying to align my own
vocabulary...)
<bblfish> I added the Social Web XG to
[27]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_web
[27] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_web
kaliya: In the same article about community, user-centric,
company-centric and card?-centric
<bblfish> also added foaf+ssl to
[28]http://wiki.idcommons.net/Identity_Landscape
[28] http://wiki.idcommons.net/Identity_Landscape
<hhalpin> user-centric/card-centric/organization-centric
<hhalpin> Infocard
kaliya: references informationcards.net
<mattroweshow> [29]http://informationcard.net/
[29] http://informationcard.net/
kaliya: Misunderstanding that the only org involved is Microsoft,
but the open source grassroots community has embraced and extended
it even further
... That project is called the "Hidden Project"? Available on Adobe
Air
... Interesting journey to get to where we are today

kaliya: All social networking platforms show up at their events;
very market driven; "what are users tell us are what we will do"
<hhalpin> Higgins Project
kaliya: They are working really well together to support portability
and open authentication
<hhalpin> nn Diagram Identity
<hhalpin> [32]http://www.eclipse.org/higgins/
[32] http://www.eclipse.org/higgins/
kaliya: PortableContacts for standardising the info people have in
their networks
<caribou> contacts or context?
kaliya: Ready to answer questions on what they've read and what they
want to know about the community
hhalpin: We haven't thought about the notion of identity so far
... Haven't talked about Information Cards
... Will be more asking for guidance about the identity landscape
... User versus card versus organisation
kaliya: that is an old model, but now we have gotten to the Venn of
identity
... evolution of our thinking is to help SWXG get to where they have
gotten to, or at least to see how to get there
hhalpin: Through the link out on IRC to the paper Harry has read and
suggests other in SWXG do too
... A lot of backgrounds in this group are from portability from
Semantic Web and also mobile phones + social networking
bblfish: Henry in a cafe
... added to the identity landscape wiki about foaf+ssl work
... using URIs for identity
... interesting to hear how that work can integrate more into the
identity commons
kaliya: has heard about foaf - wants to bring more info about it to
the Identity Commons community
bblfish: Is it enough to add to the wiki?
kaliya: Join the community list, 500-600 people, was the mailing
list that got the community started
<hhalpin> Do we have anyone on that identity commons mailing-list?
kaliya: Say hey do you know about this, we're working on it, and get
people to interact with you
bblfish: Will try that
<hhalpin> Perhaps we should get a liason?
kaliya: More formal process
hhalpin: Asks what this process is
kaliya: Unique organisation as described in charter
(non-proscriptive), have a monthly call
hhalpin: Might discuss if we should have someone join from SWXG
caribou: Do you have links to the ISO work on identity management
kaliya: Haven't to her knowledge
<hajons> +q
hhalpin: Any more questions?
<caribou> ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27 WG5 working on an Identity Management
framework
<hhalpin> caribou - should we ask ISO to present on what they are up
to?
hajons: In telecommunications, have IMF - identity management -
connect telecommunications network through the internet - has there
been participation from IMS vendors etc.
kaliya: Has been participation from European telecommunications
vendors
... Our community is mainly made up of web portal folks and large
enterprises
... Y!, Google, MySpace, Facebook, Plaxo, etc.
<renato> notes that W3C PLING has a liaison under way with ISO/IEC
JTC 1/SC 27 WG5
hhalpin: One thing we're trying to do is something similar to IC -
you pointed out abstract functionality, separations that came out of
IC - authentication, authorisation, validation - where is this
written up?
kaliya: Article about cultivating community and shared language
links to the lexicon; one of the first things they did
hhalpin: Seems that what has happened in Internet Identity workshops
is that you have technology that is filling these functionalities;
in W3C groups, we are not sure how they all fit together
... need details of how technology X with functionality Y and are
thinking of a matrix that could be used in our final report to W3C
<hhalpin> identifier: OpenID - an anchor
kaliya: What are we managing? Step back and ask why are we managing
for people. e.g. identifiers, openid gives people an anchor on the
web
<hhalpin> via their own domain name or an identity provider
kaliya: either as their own domain name or a facebook url
... another key thing that came out of the community was discovery
... how do you find out what came out of the endpoint?
... Does it point to where my photos, IMs, etc. are?
... Kind of spun out into it's own spec and part of XRI tech
committee at OASIS
... How can people link their different accounts together without
giving away their passwords
<hhalpin> kaliya: XRD = discovery, what does an endpoint do, take a
phone call, etc.
kaliya: Data portability / user control ideas
... Hand me a card that allows some claims to be made
... Different from the physical version
... In real world, they don't take a photocopy of your driver's
license
... In digital world, just want to share some info
... It's enough to know age, not eye colour - selective disclosure
... MS bough Qidentica who does this selective disclosure
... Another wing of community is focussed on how individuals could
have tools that help them manage relationships with companies they
do business with (productCRM)
<mattroweshow> [33]http://projectvrm.net/
[33] http://projectvrm.net/
kaliya: Midack? in the UK and lots of activity in London around VRM
hub
... Identities never happen in isolation - in context of a group or
entity or other individuals
<hhalpin> blackley relationship paper
kaliya: Great paper by Bob Blakley
... relationship paper
[34]http://identityblog.burtongroup.com/bgidps/2009/02/relationship-
paper-now-freely-available.html
[34] http://identityblog.burtongroup.com/bgidps/2009/02/relationship-paper-now-freely-available.html
hhalpin: Great pointers and info
... after telecon we will go through these notes and try to extract
general points
... Idea of invited speakers makes more and more cross-community
conversations
... Internet Identity Workshop is happening in November in
California at around the same time as the W3C meeting
... Asks Kaliya for format of the IIW
<hajons> +1 IIW
<bblfish> sounds good.
hhalpin: and asks if anyone is planning to go
<jsalvachua> +1
<DKA> +0.5
[35]http://www.internetidentityworkshop.com/
[35] http://www.internetidentityworkshop.com/
kaliya: Twice a year
... Same place
... Where all the big Social Web companies are
... in Silicon valley
... Don't have an agenda ahead of time, bring communities together
... In the morning after an intro section, community makes the
agenda
<bblfish> I think I went there a year ago
kaliya: Different technical activities are happening and they want
to cover it F2F during the meeting
... So unlike conferences where real work happens in the hallways
... Super productive!
... Also reduces a lot of the politics, no committee deciding who
gets to speak
... November 3-5 [36]http://www.internetidentityworkshop.com/
[36] http://www.internetidentityworkshop.com/
<hhalpin> Nov 3-5th.
kaliya: have discussed having it all week with different industry
areas - not fully decided
<bblfish> Oh yes, I did go there last year

[38] http://www.w3.org/2009/11/TPAC/Overview.html
hhalpin: Asks it it's okay to come for 1-2 days
kaliya: Yes
hhalpin: Will have a few people there financial cuts permitting
... What would you see is the best way for us to continue future
interactions apart from joining mailing list
... Who would Kaliya suggest we talk to next - e.g. Higgins project
... What could W3C do? Report about Social Web in general, but a lot
of work is happening not with W3C partially because of structural
issues with W3C - IRC is viewed as a pain, membership fees are
really high
kaliya: Sense in Silicon valley that market adoption is what a
standard is, so don't care as much about standards organisations
... Community around Open Web Foundation interesting (Messina,
Smarr); community around OpenSocial is interesting (KevinMarks et
al.)
... Chris Messina is working on distributed social networking (DiSo)
... Mentions some names from Higgins Project, missed who as audio
not great
hhalpin: As an XG, main task is to write a report. One year to do so
(or 3/4 at this point). To bootstrap, when we have invited speakers,
someone will clean up the minutes to summarise it for the report
... Just so we don't lose track of everything that's happened
... Throw minutes by kaliya for review
kaliya: Is on list
hhalpin: Asks for volunteers to edit minutes
<bblfish> mhh
<bblfish> we could do it
<hajons> one definition of identity was mentioned as being
particularly good, but I couldn't quite hear what it was called
(venner??), and didn't see it in the script either. What was it?
kaliya: one of the challenges is that there is so much stuff
happening in community and quite broad so hard to summarise it
<bblfish> yes.
hhalpin: Henry to do first draft, Harry to go over it, and then send
to Kaliya
<jsalvachua> have to go sorry, a lot of information to digest :)
thanks.
