 The identity claims aggregator performs two important roles:
 
 - It collects and verifies identity attestation claims from various identity providers such as social media sites and ID verification vendors.
-- When the content creator creates content, it creates a unique asset-specific credential binding the identity attestation claims collected earlier to the specific C2PA asset being described.

--  **Identity provider**:  Organization or person that attests to the identity of the named actor; This may be the identity assertion generator, a third party contacted by the identity assertion generator, or the issuer of an identity credential that the identity assertion generator uses.
-- **Identity claims aggregator**: Collects identity claims (attestations) regarding a named actor from various identity providers and can replay those identity claims into identity assertions on behalf of the named actor. This actor MAY be the same as the identity assertion generator.
+- **content creator**: The actor whose relationship to a C2PA asset is documented by an identity assertion. Typically, this will be the content creator or publisher, but not necessarily.  This is a simplified example of a _named actor_, meaning the person, device, or software whose relationship to a C2PA asset is documented by an identity assertion, also referred to as a _credential subject_ when identified by the subject field of a ToIP verifiable identifier.
