Initial feedback on major sections: DID Resolution and DID URL Dereferencing Algorithms

Open peacekeeper opened this issue 6 months ago • 2 comments

During the 25th July 2024 DID WG call, I mentioned "DID Resolution and DID URL Dereferencing Algorithms" as one of four major topics for this spec. See here:

  • https://w3c.github.io/did-resolution/#resolving
  • https://w3c.github.io/did-resolution/#dereferencing

The idea of these sections is to define algorithms for the DID Resolution and DID URL Dereferencing functions, e.g. what steps a resolver executes, how it processes certain DID parameters, what metadata to return in certain situations, how much of the process is method-specific and how much is method-independent, and how extensibility of the process is possible.

Any feedback is welcome, and I'd be most interested in high-level opinions on whether this is indeed an important topic that should be covered by the spec, and in thoughts on the general direction of this topic.
