# Chapter Three: Working with Edges
2+
3+
Claims and other credentials offer crucial support for an XID. They
4+
reveal the experience that's necessary to improve the progressive
5+
trust offered to a pseudonymous identity.
6+
7+
To date, claims have all been detached. Often this is because claims
8+
are small enough that they shouldn't be cluttering up the XID Document
9+
that's fundamental to the description of an identity. But sometimes
10+
it's because claims are sensitive and may need to be hidden in various
11+
ways.
12+
13+
This isn't always the case. There are claims (and other data) that are
14+
important enough that they should be linked to the XID in a more
15+
permanent way. They can still be elided: any data on a XID can be
16+
redacted to ensure data minmization. But, because of their importance,
17+
they need to be part of the default organization of a XID.
18+
19+
This chapter will discuss a variety of ways to add data to a XID, with
20+
a focus on _edges_, which are a methodology for placing a claim
21+
directly on a XID.
22+
23+
## Major Objectives for this Chapter
24+
25+
After working through this chapter, a developer will be able to:
26+
27+
- Create self-attestation edges
28+
- Create peer endorsement edges
29+
- Extract attestations from XIDs
30+
- Establish proof of control for a GitHub account
31+
- Build a Web of Trust
32+
33+
Supporting objectives include the ability to:
34+
35+
- Know different methodologies for linking data to XIDs
36+
- Understand the difference between self-attestations and peer endorsements
37+
- Know the value of relationship transparency
