What's missing from the History of SAML Metadata section of this article?

A web addressable instance of a schema file to accompany the specification for Liberty Metadata Version 1.0^[1] (which was contributed to OASIS in November 2003)
Online documentation for Liberty Metadata Version 1.0-06^[2] (referenced in numerous SAML metadata draft specifications)
The origins of an early metadata schema^[3] (which is completely different from what we now know as SAML Metadata)

On the wire[edit]

"On the wire, every SAML protocol message contains the entity ID of the issuer." What does this mean in non-colloquial English? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.211.103.2 (talk) 11:42, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Every entity has an identifier (called an entity ID). Every message contains the entity ID of the sender. Hence the receiver of the message knows the identity of the sender. Tom Scavo (talk) 12:16, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
