This document explains the individual profile that will be used by affiliates of an OVN. It is an important module of the OVN Infrastructure.

An individual profile is construed as an avatar, it is the digital identity of an agent. It is a socio-economic profile, containing data about social and economic activity. It may contain information about


Individual profiles must provide a window into the past of the affiliate and at the same time can be used as a predictive tool, ex. to judge if a future action or relation would be beneficial.


Design considerations

  • The individual profile is more than an account to a service, containing data stored at the service location (centralized), such as a Facebook account.
  • Must be portable. An individual can participate in more than one OVN simultaneously. It enables the individual to transport his reputation from one cluster of economic activities (one value network or other) to another.
  • Must be under the control of the affiliate, with the possibility of storing the data anywhere.
  • The individual must have write access to some parts of his/her profile, but some parts are protected. For example, applications can write data about contributions roles, and reputation, which cannot be deleted by the affiliate in question. Other affiliates could also have edit rights on someone's profile. A correction mechanism must be provided to correct non-factual additions by other affiliates or apps to someone's profile.
  • Requires an authentication mechanism.
  • Is sibyl resistant.
