User Information Attributes
User attributes are used to create a profile for a user. They are meant to be standardized on the World
Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P) 1.0 (
www.w3.org/TR/P3P/).
These attributes are also consistent with the efforts of the OASIS Web Services for Remote Portals stan-
dard. The following table lists the user attributes and their descriptions.
