Introduction

Note: full charter of the discussion group is available online

With a variety of government, commercial, and research initiatives around Internet Identity, the question on if and how to create a common methodology for managing the bits of information about an entity on the Internet is in urgent need of an answer. The Kantara Initiative has sponsored a discussion group to look at the attribute management space and make recommendations on where focused effort from the Kantara Initiative might help move this space forward.
This report and associated recommendations has been developed out of several months of reviewing and discussing the attribute space across a broad range of sectors and interests. The wiki space for the discussion group includes a repository of links to information in government, commercial industry, and higher education in the United States, Canada, Europe, and New Zealand. From that base, we have identified the following gaps and made a set of recommendations for further work.
