# eSSIF-Lab framework documentation

The framework site of eSSIF-Lab, a European Union project on self-sovereign identity: its vision, objectives and principles, a conceptual architecture, mental models, a glossary and a generic governance process. Not about KERI itself; indexed by KERISSE for its terms and concepts.

Labels: reading level Practitioner; evidence informative (an author's paper, deck, tutorial or post explaining the suite).
