Identity is actually a very fragmented thing.
- Contextual based on groups or audience
- Contextual based on Time - we evolve and change (try reading old blogs posts sometimes OUCH)
- Ownership of data crucial to trust
- Individual Ownership - how much does an individual own
- Mutual Ownership - sometimes different parts are owner by multiple entities for authoritative reasons
- Group Ownership - Sometime created by groups
- Groups and concepts can have multiple owners so who are the Principals?
- Multiple personas (legal in New Zealand)
