# WebOfTrust/ietf-did-keri: the did:keri method draft

The WebOfTrust repository of the KERI DID method draft (draft-pfeairheller-did-keri). Its issues ask how the method relates to did:web, how DID resolution metadata is structured, and how a domain is anchored in an event log to track control.

Labels: reading level Normative; evidence normative (a specification or a requirement in one).
