Just had this from Fergal Butler, one of the UK's experts on Identity Management:
"I think the diagram is slightly incorrect. In the certificates section where
it says "Who can certify my identity?" it should say "How can my identity be
certified?" as the technologies specified are actaully methods of certifying
identity which can be employed by Identity providers. It is actually the end
Identity providers who can certify the identity using the technologies
listed.
Also I don't see any mention of the Liberty Alliance stuff. Recently they've
released the specifications for ID-WSF which is their web services
framework. In particular thie release provides a "people service". See the
FAQ on this at:

The full ID-WSF 2.0 press release can be found at:

Digital Identity Mapping in a web2 world
2 Comments
I'm come across a fantastic post by a French chap named Fred Cavazza this evening. He has done a superb concise diagram showing how our digital identity is evolving with the many web2 services and applications online these days:
What I like is the way he has segmented the different psychological aspects to identity in terms of who I know, where I work, and who can certify my identity, what I like, I'm passionate about, buy, and say, what is being said about me, how you can join me.
Looking at the list - I say what products I like via Crowdstorm, I write a blog on Wordpress, I can be contacted via IM / email / phone / hcard, I publish and share photos on Flickr, videos on YouTube, and bookmarks on del.icio.us. I manage my contacts via LinkedIn, sell things on eBay, buy via Amazon and Paypal, and have a Myspace and World of Warcraft character!
So - come on guys. Let's see how you all fit into this map - what activities and sites do you use and do which represents you as an individual?
You can see Fred's original post in both French and English (kind of) versions.

[...] Also interesting to note how shopping related services are being used as part of a Digital Identity.
