Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. An i-card is a rectangular icon displayed in the user interface of an identity selector that represents a digital identity--a set of claims about some entity (typically a person, but it could also be an organization, application, service, digital object, etc.). The i-card metaphor is based on familiar physical identity credentials like business cards, credit cards, library cards, association cards, driver's licenses, badges, etc. However, just as computer file folders are similar to but more powerful than real-world file folders, i-cards are similar to but more powerful than real-world identification cards. The i-card metaphor is identical to the information card metaphor used in numerous identity selectors.
