What's my Identity ?

Who am I?
Depends on who's asking.
Depends on when he's asking.
Depends on why he's asking.

This gives rise to the various dimensions of Identity.
Okey so let me be more specifc. We will restrict ourselves to talking about one's Digital Identity.
There are three aspects to it:
1> Who we are , this will be the personal attributes as in our name, our fingreprints our Social Security number etc.
2> The context, this is the frame of reference our identity is being used. Put simply it means how do we relate to the situation in which out identity is being used.
3>The profile, this maps to the specific role we play in the system. So your profile in the organization you work for is "An Employee" , your profile in Google is that of "A User" or "Client", unless you work for Google, then you would be an employee.

These three concepts make up for the basis of our Digital Identity.
Hopefully this has helped clarify the fundamental question.
