I feel quite good with this defintion, but I have 2 questions about it : - do you want to define just "digital identity" or "digital identity exchange" ? - this definition seems to not imply that the "other party" can identify uniquely the issuing party. I mean that the initial party can provide a set of claims where nothing can be found that identify it. For example, a set of claims conveying geographical informations don't identifiy the party. I may be necessary (but I may be wrong or have misunderstood the needs) to add something like that :

   Digital Identity

Definition: The digital representation of a set of Claims made by one Party about itself or another Digital Subject. A least one of those claims
   allow one or more other Parties to uniquely identifies the initial
   Party.

I don't think you need that last sentence. I don't think you need to uniquely identify the issuing party. I may just need to prove that I am over 21, or part of Star Alliance.
