|
ADV | applying KERI to general evidence problems | KERI+ACDC has always supported the assembly of arbitrary pieces of evidence into a rich graph — e.g., to snapshot artifacts in a complex application, to summarize careful research, to unify credentials in a package, or to track the artifacts in a formal legal case. It even has a ready answer about how to build bridges with other evidence formats like W3C VCs, ISO mDL, docusigned PDFs, and more. However, we have lacked certain conventions about how relationships among the pieces of evidence and the people who assemble this evidence are related. The dossier spec covers issues like these and is an exciting new tool for anyone working in KERI. | |
