What is Identity?

• Contextual
• Internal vs. External Identity
  • External Identity
    • “This is my stuff”
    • “I did (X)”
      • Data is the “trail of crumbs”
      • Reliability, availability and analysis of data are big issues
    • “I am capable of doing (Y)”
      • Authority
      • Ability
      • Interest
  • Internal Identity
    • Big question
    • Possibly an illusion
