Modify your scenario as follows: - Tthe College of Physicians and Surgeons says she is a surgeon and is board certified for X number of procedures - A particular hospital says she is part of their team. Likewise, they also know that she plays different roles at other hospitals. Minimally we want to know when her admission priveleges expire - The university says she is part of their faculty and teachs in both the business school and engineering school. - the government says she is the business owner of her surgical practice and also serves in a board capacity on other boards Hopefully we can develop specifications which go deeper than just matching/correlation of identity and attribute.

Interesting that you mention a Doctor example. A use case that we are working on uses a Surgeon (Sally) who needs to prove: - Tthe College of Physicians and Surgeons says she is a surgeon - A particular hospital says she is part of their team - The university says she is part of their faculty - the government says she is the business owner of her surgical practice With OpenID, each of these authorities could make a claim about Sally's OpenID. This could be expressed as a SAML assertion. When accessing a resource that requires one of Sally's verified attributes, Sally (using her OP) proves she is a specific OpenID Idenitifier and also provides the SAML assertion(s) that prove that identifier has been verified to belong to a surgeon, team member, faculty member, business owner. We have created an example for something anyone on the net can have verified, their email address. I'll post separately about that. -- Dick ************************************************************************* This communication, including attachments, is for the exclusive use of addressee and may contain proprietary, confidential and/or privileged information.
