How about a more easily consumable format than PDF? Simply an HTML table would be nicer.

I'd really like to have it on a wiki; the trouble is that would probably turn into self-inflicted torture... Let me see whether I can convince OpenOffice to produce reasonable HTML. -- http://mylid.net/jernst

Two and a bit more more vocabs? (posted by Chris:)

Here's yet-another disconnected identity-space effort - they've hardcoded some parts of their vocabulary, then gone the "too hard" route for everything else, and left it up to *us* to define **ourselves** for the rest: http://pip.verisignlabs.com/

My understanding is that they implemented OpenID/SREG so far -- http://mylid.net/jernst

Here's a wobbly first draft of some Microsoft identity stuff, for anyone who can (A) get Vista to work, and (B) thinks Microsoft's going to ship that pimply beast anytime this decade: http://sts.labs.live.com/ - I'm not in either category, so was unable to work out how STS extends InfoCard vocabularies.

I don't think (hope) it does. If you know more, let me know. -- http://mylid.net/jernst

Here's a bunch of folk who understand the problem, and are working to fix it for us all (I hope!!!) http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ciq

In my view, what we need to fix this is a commitment of the people building vocabularies to stop creating new ones, if there are some already that cover the information to be captured. I'm sceptical that a big "includes everything" standard makes much of a difference, because fundamentally, what we have here is not a technical problem but a social problem of wanting to reinvent slightly different versions of the same wheel over and over, each of which needs a different road. -- http://mylid.net/jernst
