Verifiable Credential JSON Schema 2023

This specification provides a mechanism for the use of JSON Schemas with Verifiable Credentials. A significant part of the integrity of a Verifiable Credential comes from the ability to structure its contents so that all three parties — issuer, holder, verifier — may have a consistent mechanism of trust in interpreting the data that they are provided with. We introducing a new data model for an object to facilitate backing Credentials with JSON Schemas that we call a Credential Schema.
