!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is the means of [Identity Correlation] a [Digital Identity] and [Identity Attributes] stored across multiple [distinct identity systems|Security Domain] to form a [Digital Subject].[1]
[{$pagename}] is typically performed through an [Identity Correlation] and or [Identity Broker] for a [Federation].
