identity is a set of claims about a person with regards to another entity.

identity is not unique to the user

You provide a different set of claim when sharing them to your boss and when sharing them with your family.

I’ll start with the easy part

Identity

In a community, it’s defined as a set of claims related to en entity

I generally, there are many identities per entity.

Here, you need to remember two things

  1. there are many mapping to an entity in general, a lot of people mistakenly thing that there is only one identity per entity. That is false.
  2. conflict identity and identifier. Identifier is a label that uniquely identifies the identity in a set of identities. So please be careful not to conflict them.
