The document discusses the importance of linked data in solving identity and data access problems for enterprises and individuals, emphasizing the use of HTTP-based identifiers. It outlines solutions to identity issues and data integration challenges through the establishment of personal HTTP IDs and the application of middleware for aggregating heterogeneous data sources. By utilizing these strategies, users can navigate web applications without repetitive logins and access diverse data types effectively.

  Solution – IdentityProblemGet Yourself a Data Space that delivers: A personal HTTP based ID (a URI) Bind Your ID to an X.509 Certificate Bind Certificate to your HTTP User Agents (e.g., Browser) Bind Certificate to your Profile (e.g., a FOAF space). © 2008 OpenLink Software, All rights reserved.

  Solution – IdentityProblem Contd. With the your HTTP ID in place you can then achieve the following: Visit places on HTTP networks with no login and credentials repetitions (Intranet or Web) Use ACL based policies to confine data access to specific groups of people. © 2008 OpenLink Software, All rights reserved.
