ODS Feed Manager WebID? Protocol Sharing to Group

  1. Configure Virtuoso+ODS instance as an X.509 Certificate Authority and HTTPS listener
  2. Generate a Personal HTTP based Identifier for fictitious Person Entity: Tom and then bind his personal Identifier to an X.509 Certificate (thereby giving him a WebID?)
  3. Generate a Personal HTTP based Identifier for fictitious Person Entity: Anna and then bind her personal Identifier to an X.509 Certificate (thereby giving her a WebID?)
  4. Log into ODS-Feed Manager as user "Demo" (a Person Entity)
  5. Create a WebID Protocol Group, for ex. with name "MyWebIDGroup?" and add the users Tom and Anna's WebID?'s to it: 

    -- Tom's WebID
http://cname/dataspace/person/tom#this

-- Anna's WebID
 http://cname/dataspace/person/anna#this

  6. Share an ODS-Feed Manager subscription explicitly with "Tom and Anna" via their Group WebID?:
