The **Decentralized Identifier (DID) Resolution and Infrastructure** standard defines how DIDs are resolved into DID Documents and how specific resources (like keys or services) are accessed via DID URLs. It ensures interoperability across different DID methods and provides a framework for secure, decentralized identity management. The latest update introduces new guidelines for handling network forks in distributed systems and reorganizes content for improved clarity.
