D2.1: Inventory of Topics and Clusters

Title: OTHER CATEGORISATIONS

Other categorisations

This chapter aims to be more concrete and present a categorisation that corresponds to the structure of attributes associated to the identity of a person.  

Contrary to the previous categorisation which aims at defining the highest level concept for a better understanding of the meaning of the terms, this structure is to be used more as a formal representation that may be used in information systems. 

In this document, the categorisation is given just as an indication, since it will be better addressed in a later deliverable (D2.3 models of identity). Besides, other aspects are also already being investigated by special groups and standards (such as HR-XML).

Similar (formal) structuring / categorisation / taxonomy could also be considered, for instance, for the representation of the identifier, the domain of application, the different authentication system used, categories of fraud, etc. 

For example, a basic categorisation of the identifier concept is: 

1. identifier  

   1. biometrics
