RE: [higgins-dev] Reorganizing Higgins site/content (another tweak)
|
Cleaning this up will be great. It would be nice if we could get even more
differentiation between IDS and IdAS. Both have long names of Identity
Attribute Service. What about IDWS (Identity Attribute Web Service)?

Subject: [higgins-dev] Reorganizing Higgins site/content (another tweak)
Folks,
I¹m just back from three days of Higgins meetings in France with the FC2
consortium. The experience prompt the following proposed changes to the
site/wiki content:
TODAY --> PROPOSED
===== ========
Clients Selectors
------- ---------
AIR Client & Server AIR Selector (including ICS)
Web Selector (including ICS)
ICM[missing!] merged into the above
RCP no change
GTK/Cocoa no change
FF-embedded no change
Identity Services Identity Services
----------------- -----------------
WS-Trust IdP no change
SAML IdP no change
RP no change
Web Selector moved up above
XDI4J moved down below
Identity Att. Svcs Attribute Services
------------------ ------------------
IDS - multiprotocol web service
XDI4J - now moved here
IdAS - today's Java framework
Where IDS is short for "Identity Attribute Service," a multiprotocol
attribute data service (web service) based on IdAS framework.
Advantages/Disadvantages
------------------------
+ All three "doors" are now doors to multiple things (consistency)
+ We differentiate between the IdAS Java interfaces and the IDS
+ We use "selector" instead of "client"
+ so we can include the "web selector" under "selectors"
+ now all selectors are grouped together under "Selectors"
+ XDI4J has a better home
+ The missing WEB (GWT) I-Card Manager now has a home
+ Now IDS can support Plaxo Portable Contacts, XDI, etc. without
being confused with the name of the underlying framework (IdAS)
- The client word was a less bias-proclaiming word than selector.
We switched to client when we thought contributions from
IDIB and/or Liberty (ECP, etc.) folks might be forthcoming.
Now we should just go back to making a "multi-protocol" selector
and be welcoming by our actions (true multi-protocol-ness).
