Use Case Title
Social Profile Creation
The use case
- Kim creates a comprehensive (describes both personal and business attributes) personal profile on a service.
- The profile is stored in that provider's system (e.g., on the provider's server)
- Alternatively, Kim may choose to self-host her profile.
- In either hosting case, the profile information is available to be used by (also known as "federated") other social networking or business systems.
- Kim has control of when her profile is federated to another system.
Narrative

Kim establishes an account with an accredited profile provider and submits information that describes various aspects of Kim's personal and business personas, which is then stored on the provider's server(s). Alternatively, Kim may choose to self-host the profile and federate it at will.
