14. The method of claim 11 further comprising, receiving a request from an agent associated with the semantic identity to locate other similar semantic identities after the agent augments or updates the interests or the semantic specification, wherein the agent represents a primary identity for a principal and a principal is a resource.
11. A machine-implemented method, comprising: mining a network for information as a semantic identity to perform network transactions against network resources on behalf of a principal associated with the semantic identity, the principal includes a primary identity that is not the semantic identity, the primary identity is a true persona for the principal, and the network is mined for interests defined for the semantic identity; accumulating related information that comports with the interests of the semantic identity defined in a semantic specification associated with the semantic identity, and the semantic identity is formulated from identifiers and secrets to provide a statement of roles and permissions that the semantic identity has in relation to particular resources that are accessed in the network transactions; mining the network as the semantic identity and presenting the mining process to network onlookers as coming from the semantic identity and not the agent, again the network is mined for the interests; and maintaining anonymity of the primary identity during the mining of the network and the semantic identity uses a signature for the semantic identity to assure the network resources that identification is for the semantic identity and not the agent.
