Examples
In 2003 the most common examples of standard user models are driver's licenses, passports, Medicalert data, insurance applications, credit applications and credit history. With the exception of medical applications, these are typically used to offer or deny or price service, and not to improve the quality of aid offered.
An example of a more adaptation-oriented standard user model is the Windows Live ID which is used to adapt the MSN Messenger and Microsoft-allied web sites to user desires. However Microsoft has been criticized for security and privacy management problems in the past, and its model is unlikely to be adapted for direct use by governments or other mandatory purposes.
