Identity Schemas Charter

Name
Identity Schemas Working Group

Purpose

 * 1) To create a web catalog of identity-related ontologies (schemas) in order to promote interoperability between identity systems through ontology reuse. These ontologies must be represented in HOWL, RDFa or XDI.
 * 2) To create a common ontology (in HOWL, RDFa or XDI) for the domain of people.

Principles
See Purpose And Principles.

Practices
How does the working group go about doing its work together?

Examples:
 * a group that hosts event that it charges money for to cover costs might have a practice that 15% of money it earns in doing those events goes to general operating funds for Identity Commons.


 * A group might state that all its meeting notes must be publically published.

Requirements of Participation and How to Join
Participants are required to contribute to populating the catalogue and/or developing the technology behind the identityschemas.org site.
