      <abstract>
	 <t>   This document defines the Groundmark attestation framework and the
   profile of Identity Service Providers (IDSPs) that issue Groundmark
   attestations.  It is the companion document to the Groundmark core
   protocol, which specifies DNS publication and request-signature
   mechanics.  This document specifies the role and obligations of
   Identity Service Providers, a four-level taxonomy of attestation
   strength, an initial vocabulary of claim types, the JSON schema and
   signature construction for attestation payloads, the method-
   disclosure discipline that defines an IDSP&#x27;s accountability
   obligation, and revocation semantics for the attestation layer.

   The core protocol document defines the discovery mechanisms (the
   _agentclaim DNS TXT record and the HTTP retrieval of attestation
   payloads) on which this document depends.  Together the two documents
   specify Groundmark.
