Discussion notes, key understandings, outstanding questions, observations, and, if appropriate to this discussion: action items, next steps:

Credential Representation of SSI Credential

Key Understanding:

Is important for the User to see a representation of their credentials. Is also important to ensure that the representation is informed by the entity that issued the credential.

Except a universal representation to serve as UX backup.

There is a consensus that a subset of SVG can provide two solutions well.

A machine readable way to describe the credentials representation.

Provide a reliable rendering across well known platforms (mobile, web and desktop).

There is also a consensus that is probably not a good idea to increase the footprint of the credential definition metadata. But instead will be interesting to explore a hashlink to ensure an agent can fetch representation metadata along with saving a credential in your wallet.

Another interesting idea was to rely on a globally available representation authority to list this definitions so they are accessible

As per action items:

The convener of the session will factor in some of the feedback to articulate an RFC, and several attendants will explore some of the technical challenges with implementations.

The next step will be to combine these efforts into a spec for the greater community and a reference implementation.
