Higgins is an open source project dedicated to giving individuals more control over their personal identity, profile and social network data. The project is organized into three main areas: #Active Clients - An active client integrates with a browser and runs on a computer or mobile device. # * Higgins 1.X: the active client supports the OASIS IMI protocol and performs the functions of an Information Card ''selector''. # * Higgins 2.0: the plan is to move beyond ''selector'' functionality to add support for managing passwords, Higgins relationship cards, as well other protocols such as OpenID. It also becomes a client for the Personal Data Store (see below) and thereby provides a kind of dashboard for personal information and a place to manage "permissioning"—deciding who gets access to what slice of the user's data. #Personal Data Store (PDS) is a new work area under development for Higgins 2.0. A PDS stores local personal data, controls access to remotely hosted personal data, synchronizes personal data to other devices and computers, accessed directly or via a PDS client it allows the user to share selected aspects of their information with people and organizations that they trust. #Identity Services - Code for (i) an IMI and SAML compatible Identity Provider and (ii) enabling websites to be IMI and OpenID compatible. ==History== The initial code for the Higgins Project〔(Eclipse Higgins Project ) - home page〕 was written by Paul Trevithick in the summer of 2003. In 2004 the effort became part of (SocialPhysics.org ), a collaboration between Paul and Mary Ruddy, of (Azigo ), (formerly Parity Communications, Inc.), and (Meristic ), and John Clippinger, at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society. Higgins, under its original name Eclipse Trust Framework, was accepted into the Eclipse Foundation in early 2005. Mary and Paul are the project co-leads. IBM and Novell's participation in the project was announced in early 2006.〔(Open Source Initiative to Give People More Control Over Their Personal Online Information ) - IBM press release〕〔(IBM/Novell unveil rival to Microsoft Infocard )〕 Higgins has received technology contributions from IBM, Novell, Oracle, CA, Serena, Google, (eperi GmbH ) as well as from several other firms and individuals.
