Reorganizing Higgins site/content (another tweak)
It was a conscious choice
in the interest of simplicity. All of the separate selectors we have could be
thought of as just different flavors for different platforms. But there’s
really only one thing, the Higgins Selector. By contrast, behind the other 2 doors
are mixtures of different kinds of things.
Could be wrong. What do others think?

Should
door number 1 be called Higgins Selectors (plural) since all three doors point
to multiple things?

Oops. That was a typo. IDS was supposed to be
“Identity Data Service”
(see red correction below).
BTW, I’ve implemented tonight these changes in the home page and the top
three “overview”/door pages (now as wiki pages) in the staging area
here: http://www.eclipse.org/higgins/ver2/index.php

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)?

Folks,
I’m 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 Data
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).
