Mission
The TSWG web3 Concept Development Task Force (wCD TF) has been created to explore where ToIP concepts can be applied to specific use cases across a broad ecosystem of technologies. Members of the Task Force commit to exploring ways that the ToIP concepts can be applied broadly to solve problems with the goal of informing the TSWG about future specifications and standards that can be aimed at specific problems. While code may be created (hosted outside of ToIP) that is vendor/technology specific, the standards and specification recommendations coming from the task force must be broad and open.
Initial areas of examination may include:
- DID-based login - whether web3 native or OIDC-based, what is the recommended pattern.
- verifiable "things" (e.g. verifiable NFTs) - how developers can create a simple protocol/pattern for verifying digital assets like NFTs and how these fit into the ToIP 4-Layer model.
- DIDs and DID Fragment usage - where/how do DID Documents and the generic DID protocol help create useful patterns (e.g. resource storage, validation) that go beyond current thinking.
- DIDs and Trust Registries - what are the patterns of interaction.
- Compliance Suites - what patterns of compliance/accreditation would help drive adoption for ToIP 4-layer models. HL-Aries Interop test suite may be a starting point.
The mission of this task force is to explore each use case. That exploration may involve creation of working code that helps to identify the patterns that exist and determine what standards and specification may be needed to create broad industry adoption. The outputs may quickly create new task forces elsewhere in ToIP or other places.
Phasing:
- The first phase is exploratory: to conduct survey studies to come to a common understanding of how the technologies of AI/Metaverse and Trust intersect & impact ToIP's current mission. The output can be one or more Discussion/White Papers.
- The second phase is to synthesize an actionable Recommendation and/or White Papers for ToIP to consider acting upon.
Deliverables
The deliverable of this Task Force are:
- Regular reports to TSWG on each use case that is being actively explored.
- A Recommendation or White Paper.
