Apologies for cross-posting an article that could be a seed for discussion at IIW. (Apologies too, for having lost the source that pointed out this article to me.) http://idlewords.com/talks/what_happens_next_will_amaze_you.htm The UMA Authorization Server (or something very much like it) will be the link between our Vendors and our Things.
