Description
Currently, the UNTP playground uses hard-coded mapping within the source code to determine the relationship and versions of different credentials, including extensions like the livestock passport. This approach, where mappings for extensions and their versions are directly added to the code, is considered not scalable. Every time a new beta version is released or a new extension is introduced, the source code would need to be updated, making testing in the playground cumbersome.
To address this scalability issue, a new approach for dynamic version determination is being proposed and discussed. This method relies on examining the context URL found within the verifiable credential. The idea is to use the types of the credentials (present in the "type" array) and the context links to determine the credential type, what it extends (if it's an extension), and the versions of both.
