Product Overview
Here you can find an overview of use.id and what you can do with it
use.id is both a WebID infrastructure provider and a platform for developers to easily build Solid- and WebID-compatible apps.
use.id: A WebID infrastructure provider
As a WebID infrastructure provider, use.id should be seen as a loosely coupled collection of components that are required by the W3C Solid standards:
- use.id WebID Registry: Hosts the WebID profile document and resolves the use.id URIs to the right profile document.
- use.id Store: The linked data platform on which the data is hosted combined with the authorisation server that contains the access controls for this data. This component is often called a 'pod server'.
- use.id Identity Provider: An identity provider that currently lets users authenticate using one-time-passwords
- use.id Authorisation Agent: An application that allows users to manage who can access what in such a way that it is interoperable between other applications and actors.

use.id: An application development platform
As a development platform, use.id provides APIs and tools so you can easily create applications that rely on the Solid and WebID standards
Environments: Production and Sandbox
In order for you to easily develop your application, we have created a Sandbox environment that mirrors our production environment exactly. This way, you can experiment without having to worry.
