Full Title or Meme

A digital document that describes a digital Entity typically signed by a trusted issuer or Authority.

Context

On the Identity Management page different roles are defined for Entities.

Problems

There have been several attempts to get information from web sites to users. These have diverged in unexpected ways based on the approach taken.

Solutions

Quite a few structures have been defined to describe entities. The Entity Statement created in the OpenID Connect Federation document is taken as be base for comparison with several others in the table below.

Entity Statement HL7 capability X.509 certificate DID Document Notes
End Points End Points DNS range one key instance collection of scopes
n/a persistent URI ver 3, Serial No. @context Document ID - may include status & url to this or current version of doc
n/a s/w app name may include status & a human readable description of function
software very specific software version (GUID?) incl. trade name, release date
iss publisher Issuer controller The entity identifier of the issuer of the statement may incl. contact

signature singed by the issuer of the statement

HL7 FHIR Capability Statement

The FHIR spec includes a definition of a Resource Capability Statement. Which is similar in purpose to the Entity Statement but includes FHIR specific fields. To quote the spec "A Capability Statement documents a set of capabilities (behaviors) of a FHIR Server for a particular version of FHIR that may be used as a statement of actual server functionality or a statement of required or desired server implementation.".
