# SCOPE
|
|
|
|
## One-liner
|
|
|
|
Orthogonal vocabulary and canonical model for identity-related concepts.
|
|
|
|
## Core Idea
|
|
|
|
`identity-canon` is a research and terminology repository. It defines an
|
|
implementation-neutral vocabulary and conceptual model for identity, accounts,
|
|
actors, organizations, tenants, communities, families, agents, relationships,
|
|
and synonymity across IAM, directory, federation, social graph, authorization,
|
|
decentralized identity, and entity-resolution domains.
|
|
|
|
## In Scope
|
|
|
|
- Maintain research notes, source summaries, terminology inventories,
|
|
conflict maps, canonical glossary entries, conceptual model notes, scenario
|
|
tests, open questions, downstream recommendations, and State Hub workplans.
|
|
- Compare overlapping terms across standards, product documentation, social
|
|
graph models, authorization systems, and privacy/entity-resolution research.
|
|
- Keep canonical definitions separate from external product mappings.
|
|
- Record decisions, progress, and workplan status through State Hub.
|
|
- Verify changes with markdown review, `git diff --check`, and ADR-001
|
|
consistency checks.
|
|
|
|
## Out of Scope
|
|
|
|
- Implement identity providers, account-management services, provisioning
|
|
adapters, authorization engines, UI components, CLI commands, databases, or
|
|
production APIs.
|
|
- Own unrelated adjacent systems or operational identity lifecycle tooling.
|
|
- Make irreversible operational decisions without human approval.
|
|
- Treat draft canon artifacts as finalized schemas before source-note backfill
|
|
and scenario review.
|
|
|
|
## Current State
|
|
|
|
- Status: active research scaffold.
|
|
- The repository is currently documentation-only. It has no package manifest,
|
|
build system, runtime app, or executable test suite.
|
|
- `IDENTITY-WP-0002` seeded the first terminology, canon, model, scenario,
|
|
open-question, and downstream recommendation artifacts. The next research
|
|
pass should backfill individual source notes and revise the draft canon from
|
|
evidence.
