# Identity

The Relation protocol defines identity as the combination of Relation Name Service and several Semantic SBTs describing users' identity.

The RDF data of all the contracts conforming to the Contract Open Standard will be parsed as part of a user's identity. By doing this, we hope all developers can participate in building a decentralized identity network.
