Data Services Template Specification

A data service is a web service that supports the query and modification of identity data. (An example of a data service is an identity service, such as an online corporate directory.) The Liberty ID-WSF Data Services Template Specification provides a protocol for the query and modification of the data attributes stored in a data service. The service interface specifications defined by the Liberty Alliance Project are based on this Data Services Template. For more information, see the Liberty ID-WSF Data Services Template Specification. For more information on the service interface specifications, see Liberty Identity Service Interface Specifications.
