Talk:Identity correlation

This page is more about Corporate Employee Identity Authentication Management than about general identity correlation of entities, which may not even be persons. For example, cars can have an identity by VIN, books by ISBN or LOC number, etc. Such object entities may need to have their identities managed and correlated across various online systems when different natural identification systems are used, especially across international boundaries, even though such entities would not be involved in authentication since they are not associated with users. Even entities that are associated with users, such as organizations, might have identities managed without authentication in certain systems; e.g., a listing of all non-profit charities in a country might identify the organization by a tax-exempt identifier that would be managed by a service, and then this identifier might need to be correlated with a distinct identifier used in another country. Because this page is as written specifically concerned with Corporate Employee Identity Authentication Management instead of general identity correlation, it should be renamed and clarified.
