[Openid-specs-ab] Replacement to "User-Centric Identity" complete + another terminology topic: alternative to a "credential"?

[Kristina Yasuda]

Hi, thanks a lot for a productive conversation regarding the terminology in the "OpenID for User-Centric Identity (preliminary naming)" whitepaper<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H556GIM_xD1yKl7rw1seq4bu83movFCkU8fQ7T8b1dI/edit> - the details of the conversation will be in the notes that will be sent out.

As agreed, I replaced all the references to the "Decentralized Identity" to "User-Centric Identity" (Thanks Mike for making the suggestions). As agreed, if you come up with a better term than "User-Centric", please bring it up. We are looking for "a generic property that transcend the topology we are working with at this point in time (I really like how Vittorio has put it!)" that describes "an approach to the identity management where the End-User retains full control over from which Credential Issuer to obtain what credential, and when to disclose which credential to which Verifier (again, paraphrasing Vittorio)". (and now I am not a big fan of an acronym OpenID4UCI, so acronym suggestions welcome too..)

Another terminology topic I wanted to bring up is inspired by Pieter's comment on the definition of "Credential": "It was interesting to see terminology in the EU Digital Wallet architecture like "Electronic Attribute Attestation" (EAA) that may provide alternatives to the heavily overloaded "credential". Not sure it is the right time to adopt it, but may be a good way to disambiguate terms like credential (and align with frameworks emerging elsewhere)."
I agree with Pieter both in that EAA might be an alternative, and in that maybe this is whitepaper V2 issue... Some food for thought.

Cheers,
Kristina
