1. the value intended to be a URI is instead filled with a name/description. This misuse of the URI field can lead to confusion and potential misinterpretation of the data, as consumers of this information may expect a resolvable URI that provides additional context or resources related to the entity.

2. certain claims being utilized within our configurations are not yet standardized. The unstandardized claim should be outlined in a specific box to inform the readers that those are defined witin this impl profile

Alternative Approach Suggested

To address these issues while enhancing the system's compliance and interoperability with shared regulations, we propose leveraging OpenID Federation's capabilities. Specifically, the inclusion of a Trust Mark within the Entity Configuration can serve as a verifiable attestation of compliance to shared regulations. This approach not only rectifies the identified issues but also aligns with established standards, ensuring a more robust and universally compatible system.

By incorporating a Trust Mark in the Entity Configuration, we can provide a standardized, verifiable means of demonstrating compliance. This method simplifies the validation process for entities, ensuring that all participants adhere to the agreed-upon regulations and standards.

Benefits of the Proposed Approach

• Enhanced Clarity and Usability: Correcting the misuse of the URI field and ensuring that all claims are standardized will improve the clarity and usability of the entity configuration data.

• Improved Compliance and Trust: Utilizing Trust Marks as verifiable attestations of compliance strengthens the trust framework within the ecosystem, ensuring that entities meet the required regulatory and standardization benchmarks.

• Future-proofing: Adopting a standardized approach with Trust Marks prepares the system for future integration and interoperability challenges, facilitating smoother adaptation to evolving regulations and standards.
