This specification is proposed by the Digital Governance Council, a Canadian organization that lists several government departments along with banks, tech companies (including edtech), cloud services and other important companies as members. It's 'free' for non-commercial use though it will take you through a spamwall if you want to download it (it can be read without a download on the website (this link to the 29 page PDF might work)). It mostly lists a set of requirements for compliance and makes suggestions for external specifications, such as the W3C's DID. In the appendix, where the real work is done, it defines a 'credential' as "an assertion of identity, qualification, competence, authority, rights, privileges, permissions, status, eligibility, or asset ownership (or a combination of these)," identifies two types of information in the credential (information about the credential (including credential proofs), and assertions about the person holding the credential), and types of credentials.
