We talk to Paul Madsen, a member of the Technology Expert Group in Liberty Alliance in this episode of DataPortability: In-Motion Podcast. Through the conversation, he dives into SAML and how the Identity Web Services Framework (ID-WSF) and related specifications fit into a comprehensive identity solution stack. In response to the question about implementation difficulty, he points to the work underway by OpenLiberty.org developing a set of deployable ID-WSF libraries. Another project that helps bridge between specifications is Project Concordia.
Leading the episode, we quickly touch on the following bits of news:
- Google and MySpace demo data portability
- Microsoft Opens Live Mesh
- IBM & Linden Labs Demonstrate Avatar Portability
- Project VRM Workshop Recap
- IDDY 2008 Awards Announced
