**Self-Sovereign, Blockchain and Decentralized Identity Resources**
*Self-Sovereign, Blockchain and Decentralized Identity Resources*
This is a gathering of educational materials around decentralized, self-sovereign, and blockchain identity. Its an index for research, training, developers, students, end-users, investors, and the enterprise to more easily learn and navigate the decentralized identity landscape.
**Under Construction: to become a community developed website [decentralized-id.com](https://decentralized-id.com).**
**NOTE: This repository is in the process of restructuring, along its way to [decentralized-id/decentralized-id.github.io](https://github.com/decentralized-id/decentralized-id.github.io), to become a community developed website [decentralized-id.com](https://decentralized-id.com).**
**There will be further notice, here, at a later time.**
**It may be easier for you to navigate [/decentralized-id/decentralized-id.github.io](https://github.com/decentralized-id/decentralized-id.github.io) or [decentralized-id.com](https://decentralized-id.com) while I work on tearing this one apart.**

>A key piece of the decentralized identity equation is how people, organizations, and devices can be identified and located without centralized systems of identifiers (e.g. email addresses). DIF members are actively working on protocols and implementations that enable creation, resolution, and discovery of decentralized identifiers and names across decentralized systems, like blockchains and distributed ledgers.
* DIF members, sharing the goal of “building an open source decentralized identity ecosystem for people, organizations, apps, and devices” include:

Over 10 million sites use Schema.org to markup their web pages and email messages. Many applications from Google, Microsoft, Pinterest, Yandex and others already use these vocabularies to power rich, extensible experiences."
