That is a big question. 

Are you developing you own library?

Are you becoming a service provider?

OSIS provides a number of protocol type tests for interoperability and security.

The US Government has a published profile for openID.

If you are looking for general general information around running an IdP, that depends on a lot of things.
The Kantara Identity Assurance framework may provide some insight,  but is geared towards commercial IdP rather than Web 2.0.
