Subject: Minutes: XDI TC Telecon Thursday 1-2PM PT 2008-03-27
Following are the minutes of the unofficial telecon of the XDI TC at: Date: Thursday, 20 March 2008 USA Time: 1:00PM - 2:00PM Pacific Time ATTENDING Giovanni Bartolomeo Kermit Snelson Drummond Reed Victor Grey John Bradley Bill Barnhill 1) CHARTER CLARIFICATION There were no further comments, so we have consensus to hold a charter clarification vote: http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/XdiCharter # DRUMMOND to submit both the proposed update and a redline to Mary McRae. 2) CO-CHAIR TRANSITION There were no further nominations for the co-chair position, and John Bradley, who was not able to attend last week's call, said that he had spoken with Andy Dale and Steve Churchill and they too felt Bill would be a fine candidate. So there was concensus to proceed with a vote. # DRUMMOND to contact Mary about the logistics of conducting a co-chair election ballot. 3) DOLLAR WORDS Giovanni completed "wikification" of his $word proposal, using the main DollarWords page as the index: http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/DollarWords First we discussed using the wiki for $word documentation. Drummond explained that it will be much easier now that he accidentally discovered the "magic switch" (the string "$and/") that turns off the Firefox interpretation of dollar signs as MathML. Bill then suggested that we use a template format for $word pages so that we could then programmatically move them into a dictionary later. # BILL to propose a MoinMoin template for $word pages. Then we discussed Giovanni's proposals about XDI queries. He explained that his query notation is temporary until we work out how to express XDI queries in XDI. There is consensus that it will be ideal to be able to express XDI queries in XDI, but until then, using a temporary notation is fine. # DRUMMOND and MARKUS to make a proposal about how to structure these queries using the XDI RDF graph model. 4) XDI CONTEXTS AND CONTEXT DISCOVERY We had another discussion of XDI contexts using the V9 XDI RDF Model document: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/27322/xdi-rdf-model-v9.pdf We discussed the meaning of XDI subcontexts relative to the XDI statement that contains them. Drummond explained that a subcontext is the third option for an XDI object -- the first two being a literal or an XDI. Conceptually that lines it up with an RDF blank node. However Bill pointed out that the notion of an XDI subcontext is different than an RDF blank node because an XDI subcontext can contain multiple XDI statements about multiple XDI subjects, not just one blank node. We ran out of time and agreed to continue the topic on the next call. In the meantime, Drummond will post the Word version of the XDI RDF document so Bill and others can create proposals from it. # DRUMMOND to post Word version of XDI RDF Model document. (DONE) 5) NEXT CALLS We agreed that we would hold next week's telecon at the regular time but then skip the following week (April 10) due to RSA.
