@tallted: " \*Originally posted by [@TallTed](https://github.com/TallTed) in [#869](https://github.com/solid/node-solid-server/pull/869)\*This does not appear to show the user their logged in WebID, nor any label associated with that WebID. I submit that both of these must be available – not least because I may have the same label on multiple WebIDs, but only want to associate one WebID with some activity or data."

@dmitrizagidulin:" Can you explain more about the labels? (Their use with WebIDs is not something we currently do.)  
What are you using them for, what’s the format, etc?"

@tallted: " A WebID URI is typically horribly user unfriendly, as has been discussed a lot in regards to typing that string into login boxes.

`Alice Jones` should not see, for instance, `https://blah.example.com/stuff/things/people/userid/alicejones#this` as the logged-in-user – they should see [`Alice Jones`](https://blah.example.com/stuff/things/people/userid/alicejones#this) (which should be anchored with the URI, as here).

It may be desirable to also have this display include the IdP’s label, as

> [`Alice Jones (blah.example.com)`](https://blah.example.com/stuff/things/people/userid/alicejones#this)

or even

> [`Alice Jones`](https://blah.example.com/stuff/things/people/userid/alicejones#this) [`(blah.example.com)`](https://blah.example.com/IdP#this)

(where the IdP is separately anchored)."
