DID Resolution

DID resolution takes the DID URL (which could be the same as the DID but not always) and returns the DID document. This will happen due the the globally unique nature of DIDs (a DID can only ever reference one DID document). How you resolve a DID is different for each DID method, but usually points to a VDR (Verifiable Data Registry) which stores the DID document.

DID resolution is not a concrete protocol but more of programming function or database query. You will need to read the documentation of the specific DID Method you are using to understand how to resolve that DID.
