A Decentralized Identifier (DID) is a portable, unique and global identifier. It is based on associating a URL to an entity, meaning any element with its own independent existence: a person, an organization or an IoT device. DIDs are the infrastructure that enables the existence of Verifiable Credentials and self-sovereign identity systems. They facilitate a more secure and private identity management, reducing dependency on centralized and vulnerable systems.

WebXR dota a la Web de la funcionalidad necesaria para que las aplicaciones que ofrecen contenidos inmersivos de realidad extendida (XR) – que engloban la realidad aumentada (RA), virtual (RV) y mixta (RM)– puedan interactuar directamente con el hardware del dispositivo de usuario. Ya sea un ordenador, un aparato móvil o unas gafas de RV, WebXR se adapta a sus capacidades. Esto democratiza el acceso a las experiencias inmersivas, permitiendo su despliegue y disfrute directamente desde el navegador, sin necesidad de descargas o instalaciones complejas. Facilita la creación de nuevos escenarios de formación, entretenimiento y colaboración.
The WebML (Web Machine Learning) domain seeks to enable the ability to execute machine learning model inferences directly in the browser. To do so, it leverages the native capabilities of the local hardware on the client machine. This results in a significant reduction in the computational requirements needed on the server, often resulting in a better user experience. Specifically, it enables the development of real-time applications in the browser by eliminating the latencies inherent in inference calls to remote APIs. WebML opens the door to smarter, faster, and more private web applications, without compromising performance.
A Verifiable Credential (VC) is a tamper-proof credential whose authorship can be cryptographically verified. For example, a university degree, a professional certification or even a specific permit in digital format. VCs allow the validity and origin of these documents to be instantly and securely checked, without the need for intermediaries. They are a fundamental pillar for building a trusted website and giving users greater control over their own credentials.
The Web of Things (WoT) is a set of specifications that seek to leverage the architectural patterns and technologies of the Web to address the problem of interoperability in the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT is characterized by a wide variety of protocols and technologies, both proprietary and open, which increases the risk of formation of data silos and long-term maintenance issues. Given that the Web is one of the best known and documented technology domains, WoT represents one of the most promising opportunities to effectively address the challenge of interoperability in the IoT, enabling devices from different manufacturers to "talk" to each other in a standardized way.
