											| P6. Drummond's DID Principles - Rocketchat - Dec. 18, 2018:   "One thing I can easily clarify, since it's straight out of the spec: *DID* always refers to the *decentralized identifier*, period. If you want to talk about the JSON-LD document that the DID resolution process returns, that's called the *DID document*. The DID document contains a copy of the DID itself, but the *DID document is not the DID* and the *DID is not the DID document*." |  | 
											| P5. A DID Document is a JSON-LD serialization of a DID Entity. |  | 
											
											
											| P1. Michael's Thing Principles - Dec. 30, 2018: A Subject is an Actor or a Thing. Actors (Persons, Organizations, and Software Agents) participate in Processes. A Process acts on/accesses Things (e.g. a Pet (with a chip), Car, House, Business Document, Product, Assembly, Part) to perform work. Business Documents and Products are different from the traditional Sovrin concept of a Thing (e.g. Pet (w/chip), Car, House). |  | 
											| P4. A DID Entity is a data structure comprised of a collection of key-value pairs with keys such as: id (DID), service (endpoints), authentication, publicKey, @context, etc. |  |
