Verifiable Credentials are more than "Identity" #38
VCs are listed in the conceptual architecture diagram box for "digital objects" as part of Identity. Well, they are that, of course. But they are much more than that as they are format for presenting verifiable claims about assertions of many types. Many digital credentials are objects that need an associated identity, and some may not (concert tickets?). This categorization of digital objects would benefit from further discussion.
