What is a Digital Identity?

In the context of this website, we will refer to digital identity as short for 'personal digital identity' that is the use of technologies to support the construction of one's identity and the expression of one's identity with technologies. The personal digital identity is not a static object, but the result of the multiple conversations we have with ourselves (reflection), peers, organisations, mediated through or captured with digital technologies. In this context, it is a given that the same person can have multiple digital identities, depending on the context where they operate, and that part of these identities can be the result of a conscious process (e.g. reflective blog) or the simple tracking of Internet transactions (e.g. cookies).

According to wikipedia "Digital identity refers to the aspect of digital technology that is concerned with the mediation of people's experience of their own identity and the identity of other people and things. Digital identity also has another common usage as the digital representation of a set of claims made by one digital subject about itself or another digital subject."
