(d) A clear English-language summary of the specification:
In summary, the Identity Metasystem Interoperability Version 1.0  
specification is intended for developers and architects who wish to  
design identity systems and applications that interoperate using the  
Identity Metasystem Interoperability specification.

An Identity Selector and the associated identity system components  
allow users to manage their Digital Identities from different Identity  
Providers, and employ them in various contexts to access online  
services.  In this specification, identities are represented to users  
as “Information Cards”.  Information Cards can be used both at  
applications hosted on Web sites accessed through Web browsers and  
rich client applications directly employing Web services.

This specification also provides a related mechanism to describe  
security-verifiable identity for endpoints by leveraging extensibility  
of the WS-Addressing specification.  This is achieved via XML elements  
for identity provided as part of WS-Addressing Endpoint References.   
This mechanism enables messaging systems to support multiple trust  
models across networks that include processing nodes such as endpoint  
managers, firewalls, and gateways in a transport-neutral manner.


(e) A statement regarding the relationship of this specification to  
similar work of other OASIS TCs or other standards developing  
organizations:

This specification does not replace or supersede other work. This  
specification is related to these specification:
·         OASIS Standard WS-Trust 1.3 and 1.4
·         OASIS Standard WS-SecurityPolicy 1.2 and 1.3
·         W3C Recommendation WS-Addressing 1.0

they are successfully using the specification:
