So you mean the WebID Profile, as specified in http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/webid/spec/#publishing-the-webid-profile-document ? In that illustration it would be <https://bob.example/profile> ? What is the IDP in this scenario? IDP is a word that comes from OpenId. In OpenID the IDP is the service one links to from one's profile page. But in WebID we don't have an IDP in that sense. > It holds a mirror of claims in the x.509 certificate in a local key store.

We then make a set of claims via triples in Idp oriented data space that mirrors whats in the local key store. So given that WebID does not require an IdP, it is even more mysterious what an "IDP oriented dataspace" is. > > If you have a relation associating a subject with a public key in a certificate that resides in your local store, having the same relation in your idp oriented data space via triples implies a mirror.
