December 21, 2006Even standards organisations aren't immune to twodotoism
The Liberty Alliance, which does great work in the world of federated identity technology standards, policies, guidelines etc, has succumbed to the 2.0 bug. On the 22nd January it will be holding the "Liberty 2.0" workshop but don't let that put you off. The excellent line-up of speakers (and I am talking from experience) will be covering the Identity Web Services Framework (ID-WSF) which, as I discussed here, addresses user-centric as opposed to enterprise-centric federation scenarios.
ID-WSF is not the only user-centric identity initiative in town, though, so I hope the press release lives up to its promise and will feature experts in OpenID, which is rapidly becoming a significant force. Without interoperability, user-centric identity is a non-starter. In that regard, it's encouraging to note that the Higgins project (see here, here and here) has a slot on the agenda.
If I wasn't in the UK I think it would be worth a day of my time.
