[Design Goals] Vague references to "entities" need to be clarified #154

Closed mwherman2000 closed 5 years ago

mwherman2000 commented 5 years ago

In https://w3c-ccg.github.io/did-spec/#design-goals, it refers to "entities" in several places ...but in a vague way.

From https://github.com/w3c-ccg/did-spec/issues/116, What does "entities" refer to? This is vague. What are these "entities" in real-life? ...in a DID data model, what/where are these "entities"? For example, do we need to specifically identify/call out the concept of a DID Entity?

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