Digital ID World 2005 Part 2

This post is more a note of interest rather than debate. About four years ago I heard the term "Reference Architecture" from a company called NetReference (now a part of Burton Group). During the course of this conference, I have heard that same term used by several vendors but none more than oath. Interestingly enough, Burton Group's product is termed "Burton Group's Reference Architecture" and oath's initiative is called the "OATH's Reference Architecture" version 1. Evidently someone was watching/listening and liked the term.
