https://github.com/KantaraInitiative/wg-uma/issues/256 This is one of a series of messages meant for discussion of naming of entities and concepts. This message consolidates a bunch of *major entity/concept* terms from the GitHub issue: - resource owner (RO) (original; from OAuth) - requesting party (RqP) (original; confusion with identity "RP") - resource server (RS) (enhanced OAuth version; also acts as OAuth client; confusion with identity "RP") - client (enhanced OAuth version; also acts as OAuth client; confusion with identity "RP") - authorization server (AS) (enhanced OAuth version) - resource set (original), protected resource, resource (colloquial) - scopes (also appeared in the *authorization/claims* message) For now, let's please discuss only in email, unless we're all somehow magically aligned by the time we get to the next call. I'll provide my own thoughts in a followup message. *Eve Maler*Cell +1 425.345.6756 | Skype: xmlgrrl | Twitter: @xmlgrrl
