INFRA

The INFRA Standard is a specification for defining data structures in a manner that is consistent and interoperable across different web technologies. It's used by the **Decentralized Identifier (DID) Working Group**, among others, to ensure that the foundational structures of their specifications are well-defined and can be understood in the context of other web standards.

The INFRA Standard provides a framework for specifying data structures, algorithms, and APIs in a way that is precise and unambiguous. It includes concepts like lists, queues, maps, and sets, as well as operations on these data structures. This helps in creating a common language and set of rules that all web standards can rely on, leading to better compatibility and understanding between different technologies.

The DID WG, which is part of the **World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)**, uses the INFRA Standard to define the basic structures and behaviors of DIDs, which are a new type of identifier that enables verifiable, self-sovereign digital identities. DIDs are designed to work across any blockchain or network, and the INFRA Standard helps ensure that DIDs can be consistently parsed and manipulated across different systems.

Ehe INFRA Standard is publicly available and can be reviewed for a deeper understanding of how it shapes the development of web technologies and standards.
