We use the term ‘digital identity’ to refer to the online representation of an individual within a community, as adopted by that individual and projected by others. An individual may have multiple digital identities in multiple communities.
Eduserv have funded three projects on digital identity as a result of their 2008 grants call. This represents the second workshop in the EDID series. It will help projects and individuals who have been working with the case-stories and patterns from the 1st EDID workshop to now move on to using patterns to solve real-world problems that are articulated in the form of scenarios.
Prior to this, the 2'nd workshop in the series, we want to collect as many “scenarios” about digital identity problems that people are facing. On the day, we will be working in groups to discuss and enrich the scenarios. Following this, we will browse various patterns languages to help us design solution to the described scenarios. The workshop will be flexible in nature and particpants will be free if they wish to return to devloping the exisiting patterns or developing new ones.
To summarise: we would like to invite all attendees to check they are registered for the Pattern Language Network (PLANET) site and look at some of the scenarios that have been written for the event. In addition we would be grateful if attendees could submit their own scenarios. The more scenarios we receive, the more potential there will be to find solutions using the patterns and to understand the important issues associated with digital identity.

Before the event

There are a number of things that we would like participants to do before they come the event next week:

1. Visit the scenarios section of the site and submit a "scenario". This is where you describe a problem that you want to design a solution for. You will ONLY NEED TO FILL IN the first two boxes: SITUATION and TASK. There is an example already in the system called "Mapping Identities from SL to RL".

2. Refresh your memory of seed patterns that were developed during the first workshop. If one of the patterns is yours you can edit it, and you can comment on other patterns that are there.

3. Refresh your memory by taking a look at the case-stories that were submitted. Please feel free to submit another case-story if you have one.
