This document serves as an official registry for all known global parameters, properties, and values used by the Decentralized Identifier ecosystem.

Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) are a new type of identifier that enables verifiable, decentralized digital identity. A DID refers to any subject (e.g., a person, organization, thing, data model, abstract entity, etc.) as determined by the controller of the DID. In contrast to typical, federated identifiers, DIDs have been designed so that they may be decoupled from centralized registries, identity providers, and certificate authorities. Specifically, while other parties might be used to help enable the discovery of information related to a DID, the design enables the controller of a DID to prove control over it without requiring permission from any other party. DIDs are URIs that associate a DID subject with a DID document allowing trustable interactions associated with that subject.

Solid is an ambitious project to decentralize the web and bring control of personal data back to a person. It flys in the face of many…

Here’s a quick look at how we tackle UI and UX design problems in Discovr for iOS. One issue that’s been especially tricky was finding the best way to explain the gestures in the app. We’ve tried using several different ways of displaying ‘help’ information to solve this ...

Tooltips are powerful design patterns implemented to enhance the design experience by providing additional information precisely when users need it. Sometimes, however, tooltips are obtrusive, especially on mobile devices where available space is at a premium.

Amelia is the leading conversational AI system. Her superior natural language understanding and end-to-end learning are second-to-none among digital employees.

Everything you need to know about conversation AI: how it works, where it's most helpful, and why organizations everywhere are using it to delight customers.

Conversational AI enables virtual assistants and chatbots to resolve issues without human intervention. See why self-service transforms CX and EX.

What are the differences between bots, chatbots and intelligent virtual agents? Here are 4 main characteristics of an Intelligent Virtual Agent (or IVA).

Conversations Agents have been around long enough for the public to know the difference between a cost-saving solution and a value-added customer-centric experience that makes everyday life easier. Businesses must implement chatbots that don't frustrate customers and increases your bottom line.

You just can’t differentiate between a robot and the very best of humans. —Dr. Lanning in I, Robot, by Isaac Asimov As a little twenty-first-century cocktail-party experiment, quote that line to someone, and observe whether it elicits hope or fear. Asimov understood the core terror of AI-human relations: replication, confusion, eventual domination, and chaos. What makes his […]

The key to humanizing technology is to make it more relatable, not more human.
