[Design Goals] all references to *identifier* management etc. should be changed to *DID Entity* management, etc. #123

Closed mwherman2000 closed 5 years ago

mwherman2000 commented 5 years ago

In https://w3c-ccg.github.io/did-spec/#design-goals, it refers to

identifier management, including the registration of globally unique identifiers, public verification keys, service endpoints, and other metadata.

This isn't about identifier management at all. It's about the management of DID Entities.

Reference: Hyperledger Indy/Sovrin Comprehensive Architecture Reference Model (INDY ARM) - latest version - bullets (12) thru (16) in both the diagram, Narration, and principles.

There's no formal concept of a "DID Entity" and commits https://github.com/w3c-ccg/did-spec/commit/776406cf4e4658a622308489775293be1db14556 https://github.com/w3c-ccg/did-spec/commit/418ab1b38c6d35b9a7544da75de9799630780830 https://github.com/w3c-ccg/did-spec/commit/12e0a18a277e939458736ad39eba7a26f51e6070 https://github.com/w3c-ccg/did-spec/commit/4a248495b4f983bb67ddddad925a61c6615a1b10 around ambiguous "entity" terminology should hopefully clear this up and mean this issue can be closed.

In the proposed changes, I don't see where the specific term "identifier management" was changed or removed. Please leave this issue open.

@mwherman2000 I don't understand. The DID spec defines identifiers and CRUD operations to manage them. So why is this particular design goal (Decentralization) not about identifier management?

Closing as this has been moved to the DIDWG repo.
