<xs:element name="CardType" type="xs:anyURI" />

Hi,

Regarding http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/IMI-13

"Submission 1 – New optional ic:InformationCard elements
Card Type

<xs:element name="CardType" type="xs:anyURI" />

ic:InformationCard\ic09:CardType

This OPTIONAL element, when present, is intended to be common to all card instances of a given card type issued by an identity provider.  It is anticipated that this field could be used in card provisioning solutions.  It is not intended that this value be used in WS-Trust exchanges.

"

Should CardType point to  an xsd that defines a derived Information Card Type with e.g. a fixed set of SupportedClaimTypes and/or TokenTypes giving us the option to make the SupportedClaims optional?

If I have 3 credit cards in my card store then I would not have to repeat the supported claims in each card but could infer them from the CardType.

ICF should then define some "standard" CardTypes… that are cross-issuer. A credit card type comes to mind immediately.

Cheers
Axel
