Higgins project
Higgins is an open source project dedicated to giving individuals more control over their personal identity, profile and social network data.
The project is organized into three main areas:
Active Clients - An active client integrates with a browser and runs on a computer or mobile device.
- Higgins 1.X: the active client supports the OASIS IMI protocol and performs the functions of an Information Card selector.
- Higgins 2.0: the plan is to move beyond selector functionality to add support for managing passwords, Higgins relationship cards, as well other protocols such as OpenID. It also becomes a client for the Personal Data Store (see below) and thereby provides a kind of dashboard for personal information and a place to manage "permissioning"—deciding who gets access to what slice of the user's data.
