What I think would be helpful would be a table of auth mechanisms, something like:
This table should be used as a rough guide, not as black and white
| Name | URI used | Verification | Required | Implemented |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WebID TLS | WebID | TLS | Y | Y |
| Cookie | implied | Shared Secret | Y | Y |
| WebID RSA | WebID | Web Crypto API | N | Y |
| HTTP Signatures | Public Key | Web Crypto API | N | N |
Scenario: Alice, using her browser, wants to access resources on server bob.example, authenticating herself as the owner of server alice.example (or a specific resource on it)
Original answer: use WebID-TLS. But support in the browser has issues, so what are some alternatives?

| ok last ill ever say on star wars : George Lucas largely based star wars on the Hero with a Thousand Faces which was essentially Joseph Campbell's explanation as a school teacher of his Skeleton's key to FInnegans Wake. The whole premise about what happens when 'technology' goes wrong -- you get a rebel system which is the way that technology corrects itself, a cycle (called the hero's cycle of which luke was the hero). Technology here is a very loose term and is referenced in the form of 10 'thunders' each of which changed human kind. One of those 'technologies' is actually clothing (another is the web). The role of clothing and uniform plays an important role in the rebel cycle of star wars, the storm troopers are seen as linear, square, formulaic, dogmatic -- a broken machine -- like hierarchical systems. The jedi are spontaneous, creative, non linear, they represent humanity and it's struggle to break free from lines and rules. You could say this is an analogy to the centralized decentralized nature |

I think this is spot on. I'm a big fan of Linked Research and the technology behind it, namely linked data. I think you've touched on a wider truth. Not only does science follow funding. And science follow measure. Both follow number. This is captured by Descartes in returning from the battle of Prague, Bila Hora, an angel appeared to him to him and said "The conquest of nature is to be achieved through measure and number." Science has followed this system ever since, in derogation to nature. Of course the Christian tradition he was brought up with also though various books viewed nature as fallen, so it was perhaps an easy idea to propagate. This idea has now taken over the world. We live in a numerical, quantitative, measured and economic model based world. And it is a world that doesnt work. McLuhan in one of his great volumes ponders the shortness of the phonetic alphabet as a means of compartmentalization. Not only do we live in numerical, it's decimal numerical, derived from having 10 digits, which is a
