This is effectively a solution to any national ID card problem. The ID card itself contains very few details about you other than a list of people or services that can vouch for your identity.
The only secure thing about the card would be that the government or whoever wants to use the card would
trust its manufacture i.e. if the card says your local bank could vouch for your identity, it is the governments trust in modern security that makes that so.
As far as I can make out SAML does not cover this functionality, i.e. SAML and federated identity schemes assume a single point of authentication. If anything this idea is the reverse in that no identity is federated but your identity management is shared.
