people to the forthcoming Planetwork conference
in June were emerging identity ideas and standards
were to be discussed.

They are innovating the emerging
Identity and Relationship Layer of the Web

The Components of the Emerging
Identity and Relationship Layer
(XRI / XDI)

Why does it matter

In 1999 Planetwork gathered together
50 environmental groups to consider:

There were two unsatisfactory answers
OR

There are organizations and they have webistes,
member databases and networks.
and there are people.

People participate in more then one organization.
If the people also had identities something they could
move around between organizations (like we move
our bodies around in physical space) there could be
some interesting social emergent effects.

The Web

This is not about One Identity.
This is about the
Freedom to Aggregate

Here are several community
websites with the information
about the organization
Here is an organization
with four branches
The question is how to make sure the information
like hours, and volunteering is current and updated.

Get on the phone to change all the info?
Log into all the websites and change it?

Data Linking creates a persistent link between the
information and the places that it appears.
It creates a data link.

These data linking tools can also work for
people as well as organizations.

Who is leading the world in doing this data linking?
The radical idealists? The corporate folks?
Neither

The support network for breast
feeding mothers La Leche Legue
International is leading the way
in implementing these technologies
for their network of websites.

Pause for Questions

Looking Ahead
Here are a few issues that I see on the horizon that
are relevant to organizations and people
that need attention

Looking Ahead
Relationships as Nodes not Edges

Looking Ahead
How to support Persona Management in social platforms.
Can there be toggle functionality between different logins owned by the same person
while on a platform without having to login and logout again and again?

Looking Ahead
Organizers and organization needs
and rights in and across social systems.

Will their be civil society involvement?
