title="Controller document reference might change">
The Working Group is currently attempting to align the definitions of a
controller document between [[[?DID-CORE]]], [[[VC-DATA-INTEGRITY]]], and
[[[VC-JOSE-COSE]]]. The goal is to have one specification that each of the
previously stated specifications, and this specification, can reference for
the normative statements related to controller documents. The normative
references to controller documents are expected to change during the
Candidate Recommendation phase.
