[higgins-dev] question about Google CP

[Markus Sabadello <markus.sabadello@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mohamad,

Not sure if you are still doing anything related to the Google CP which you contributed to Higgins, but I have a question.

If I understand correctly, if I use it to access my "markus.sabadello" Google account, the CP will map all my Google contacts to IdAS Entities with some attributes. My question is, does it (or could it) also map my OWN account ("markus.sabadello") to an IdAS Entity? Or only my contacts?

Or in other words, does the Gdata API you are using provide a way to read anything interesting about my own account, or only about my contacts?

The reason why I'm asking is that if the CP could expose one's own account as an IdAS Entity, then we could use UDIs (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/UDI) to point to Google accounts in a globally resolvable way.

thanks
Markus
