Where's the entry for WebID Authentication Protocol? Conflating WebID (a Linked Data URI that denotes an Agent) and the WebID Authentication Protocol (the protocol that leverages entity relationships semantics and PKI) will always get us in to trouble. We shouldn't speak about WebID solely when the actual topic of conversation is the WebID Authentication Protocol (WAP) and vice versa. WAP's been dead long enough for us to grab it if we want :-) -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Founder & CEO OpenLink Software Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Personal Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca handle: @kidehen Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/112399767740508618350/about LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen
