Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | Verifiable Credentials Data Model v2.0 |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | An issuer signs a set of claims about a subject. A holder later presents those claims, or a derivation, to a verifier. The verifier checks the issuer's signature, not a central account. |
| Who may write | W3C |
| What is settled | Issuer, holder and verifier are different roles. |
| Load-bearing assumption | The data model is not a blockchain. |
| What this library says afterwards | A reading of the public document. Not a copy of it, and not a claim about a later network that reused the name. |
| Rights | Official external source only |
