We're recently dones some changes:

The first change moves us in the more direction of authorization to a generic resource, not just simply authenticating the user. The second change furthers this by distinguishing the resource owner from the subject of the resource.

We're missing a way to express who authorized this access. We should add an ownerDID claim.

ownerDID != subjectDID when the resource is NOT a set of claims about the party that authorized access. Eg. Acme Bank authorizes IRS access to credit card statements about Eve.

Which term from UMA do you feel is closest to the above?

@troyronda UMA defines the term "resource owner":

resource owner
An OAuth resource owner that is the "user" in User-Managed Access. This is typically an end-user (a natural person) but it can also be a corporation or other legal person.

We could use "resourceOwner", but I'd be fine with "owner" as well.
