Originator Profile Set (OPS) Data Model​

The data model of OPS is expressed in JSON.

OPS MUST be an array of JSON objects.

Each JSON object has the following properties:

  • core: Core Profile (REQUIRED)
  • annotations: An array of Profile Annotation (OPTIONAL)
  • media: Web Media Profile (OPTIONAL)

core​

REQUIRED. Core Profile

annotations​

OPTIONAL. An array of Profile Annotation. If this property is included, then for each element, the Core Profile in core and credentialSubject.id MUST be equal. This property SHOULD be included if the OPS recipient has an interest in the trustworthiness of the OP ID holding organization in credentialSubject.id.

media​

OPTIONAL. The Web Media Profile. If this property is included, the Core Profile of core and credentialSubject.id MUST be equal.

JSON Serialization for OPS​

The JSON of the data model is the JSON representation of OPS. The media type is application/ops+json.

Examples​

This section is non-normative.

Below is an example of an OPS that contains only VCs from a single organization:

[
  {
    "core": "eyJ...",
    "annotations": ["eyJ..."],
    "media": "eyJ..."
  }
]

Below is an example of an OPS that includes VCs from multiple organizations.

[
  {
    "core": "eyJ...",
    "annotations": ["eyJ...", "eyJ..."],
    "media": "eyJ..."
  },
  {
    "core": "eyJ...",
    "annotations": ["eyJ..."],
    "media": "eyJ..."
  }
]

Validation Process​

This section is non-normative.

The verification process implemented in @originator-profile/verify follows the following process.

Please refer to the following reference for the structure of the data handled in the verification process.

  • OpsInvalid
  • OpVerifyFailed
  • OpsVerifyFailed
  • Verified OPS

Details of the CP / PA / WMP verification process are in accordance with Verification of VCs Compliant with the OP VC Data Model. However, CP verification is performed using the validation key and OP ID of a pre-approved CP issuer, and does not require obtaining a verification key from the OPS.
