Difference between profiles and identities

Each individual will have a unique profile which may or may not consists of several identities. A profile is unique to a specific individual, that is no-one will have the same profile with the same information (Name, Email, Username, Affiliations etc… )

For example, you can think of profiles as human beings. Every human being is different, hence unique. If that person goes to the bank and creates an account, he’ll be given an account card. That is one of his indentities, a customer of the bank.
