    Setting Interoperability Targets Part 2 of 2
            Having shown in our last piece how interoperability "profiles" are designed, we now tackle some key technical problem areas ripe for this kind of profile-first interoperability work across stacks.

    Setting Interoperability Targets Part 1 of 2
            Our short-term roadmaps need testable, provable alignment goals that we can all agree on for our little communities and networks of technological thinking to converge gradually. Simply put, we need a few checkpoints and short-term goals, towards which we can all work together.

    Peer DIDs moving to DIF’s ID Working Group
            The vast majority of relationships between people, organizations, and things have simple requirements and privacy requirements incompatible with immutable publication, and now DIF’s thinking about those, too.

    Rhythm and Melody: How Hubs and Agents Rock Together
            Overlapping descriptions of hubs and agents have fostered a perception that they’re competing technologies. This is unfortunate, because the truth is quite different. Hubs and agents are actually synergistic, like a drummer and a guitarist.

            How was it possible that there was an entire community dedicated to PIDs (persistent identifiers) that our community around DIDs (decentralized identifiers) had not heard of before?
