## About MOSIP

The **Modular Open Source Identity Platform** is an open-source, open standards-based foundational identity platform. MOSIP is an API-first platform that can be used by countries to build their own national ID platform. MOSIP offers [ID Lifecycle Management](/1.2.0/~/changes/EDXkAXJ2BnUpKbwo76Y3/id-lifecycle-management.md) features and identity verification capabilities out of the box. Conceived to help build global digital public goods in the space of digital identification and governance, MOSIP is anchored at the International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore ([IIIT-B](https://www.iiitb.ac.in)). It harnesses the power of open-source technologies and embraces the best practices of scalability, security and privacy. [Learn more >>](https://www.mosip.io)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.mosip.io/1.2.0/~/changes/EDXkAXJ2BnUpKbwo76Y3/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
