## 📄 Technical Specifications

Here you will find an overview of the technical specifications, grouped by level and sorted by community.

An overview of the technical specifications can be found in [this simplified map](https://github.com/decentralized-identity/decentralized-identity.github.io/blob/master/assets/map-of-adjacent-orgs-and-specs--sept-2020--one-sided.pdf) and [here](https://github.com/decentralized-identity/decentralized-identity.github.io/blob/master/assets/crosscommunity-architecture-survey-oct-2020.pdf) in a more detailed fashion.
