!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a parameter in a [W3C Decentralized Identifier] and is a definition of how a specific [DID scheme|URI Schemes] can be implemented on a specific [Distributed Ledger Technology] or [network], including the precise method(s) by which [DIDs] and [DID Documents] can be read, written, and revoked.
[{$pagename}] is expressed as a the value of the method parameter within a [DID] which [MUST] define exactly one specific [DID scheme|URI Schemes] identified by exactly one method "specific-idstring"
!! [{$pagename}]
The [W3C Decentralized Identifiers] specification outlines the necessary operations any [{$pagename}] must implement. Different methods outlines the way to [create], retrieve, and [update] the [DID] and it's associate [DID Document].
!! No [{$pagename}] [Registry]
Since DIDs are intended for [decentralized identity|W3C Decentralized Identifiers] infrastructure, it is [NOT RECOMMENDED] to establish a registry of unique DID method names. Rather the uniqueness of [{$pagename}] names should be established via human consensus, i.e., a specific DID scheme [MUST] use a method name that is unique among all [{$pagename}] names known to the specification authors at the time of publication.\\
%%information
[{$applicationname}] does not understand how this is possible.
%%
A list of known DID method names and their associated specifications is provided in a [W3C] registry at: [DID Method Registry|https://w3c-ccg.github.io/did-method-registry/|target='_blank']
