Hi Rafa,
Thanks for your ideas. WebID [1] is a URI based protocol to identify an entity (person, organization) uniquely over the web. Since WebID is based on linked-data (FOAF [3] syntax) we can extract information such as person's interests, employment history, cv, publications, and friends by analyzing the linked resources described in the WebID. When a WebID is associated with a person it can be used as a single-sign-on protocol like OpenID [2] as well. WebID can also be instrumental in social-web to have a single-profile over multiple social networks with linked resources like photos, friend-lists etc. Also security layers can be implemented on top WebID to apply fine-grained access control to such linked-resources described by the WebID. l As you have pointed out WebID can be used to implement a disambiguation algorithm for people entities in Stanbol. I also think it can be highly useful in semantic lifting by extracting information like, employment data, friend's profiles, publications etc described by the WebID. IMO sentiment analysis can also benefit from WebID.
