Verifiable Credentials for Data Unlocking. core of web5

#vc #ssi #web5 #json-ld #linkeddata In #WebX ( #web3 , #web5 , web.. ) we have our private and public key as an identity. In the blockchain, you have an address derived from a public key. In the chain agnostic #SSI world, we have #DIDs as Resolvable DNS-like identifiers that help to distribute your public keys with metadata that identifies you via signatures. Identity is much more than proof of signature. How to state any facts about yourself and others? For this, we have Verifiable Credentials https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model. VCs help us to satisfy core SSI principles (https://coggle.it/diagram/YGd1jLDPo2dftiil/t/ssi-principles) like: - portability, - interoperability - transparency We open our data to ourselves, our devices, and others. More impotent is to turn our data to #temperproof machine and human #verifiable and readable #datagraph. With a JSON-LD https://json-ld.org/ we turn claims into self-descriptive and discoverable linked data. Even a single VC is two data gra
