This section describes the attribute and data related services, java frameworks and abstract data models that are used by many of the upper layers of Higgins solutions, services and applications.

IdAS Solution & IdAS Library

The IdAS solution is a deployable "IdAS" Identity Attribute Service.

Higgins 1.0: IdAS Solution 1.0: this solution provides a basic configuration of the Identity Attribute Service 1.0 (IdAS). IdAS is a java framework that provides a common interface to identity, profile, and relationship data from external data sources (e.g. websites, databases, directories) and expose them via the IdAS interfaces.

Attribute Service

New for Higgins 1.1, we're working on an network attribute web service called the Attribute Service. The initial protocol supported will be XDI with others to follow. See Higgins_1.1_Plan#Attribute_Service_1.1 for more info.

IdAS Proxy Service

New for Higgins 1.1: See Higgins_1.1_Plan#IdAS_Proxy_Service_1.1

XDI4J

XDI4J is a java support library for working with XDI.
