Subject: Minutes: XDI TC Telecon Thursday 1-2PM PT 2008-06-12
Following are the minutes of the unofficial telecon of the XDI TC at: Date: Thursday, 12 June 2008 USA Time: 1:00PM - 2:00PM Pacific Time ATTENDING Bill Barnhill Markus Sabadello Jeff Hodges Drummond Reed Giovanni Bartolomeo John Bradley AGENDA [Drummond apologized for not sending out a full agenda in advance -- just too swamped in the last 24 hours.] 1) XDI TC JOINING THE OASIS IDTRUST MEMBER SECTION John, as a newly elected IDtrust Member Section Steering Committee member, explained the advantages of the XDI TC joining the IDtrust Member Section, including: * Some of the budget from the OASIS members who elect to join the Member Section goes to the TC for promotion, events, etc. * We are part of other TCs that will help promote our work. * The Member Section can help sponsor events and articles that highlight our work along with other Member Section members. The next opportunity will be the OASIS Open Standards Forum: Security Challenges for the Information Society: http://events.oasis-open.org/home/forum/2008 There was a concensus that we should move forward with this. # DRUMMOND to request that TC Administrator Mary McRae open a ballot for this. 2) TECHNICAL TOPIC ORGANIZATION AND PRIORITIZATION Drummond explained that he has the action item to post two new pages -- one for spec editor/contributor signup and one for organizing and prioritize technical topics as we proceed into spec drafting. # DRUMMOND to finish posting these two pages. # ALL to post tech topics as needed. 3) VARIABLES Drummond brought up that one tech topic he felt needed more examination was variables. Nat Sakimura saw the $$ construct for the first time at the OASIS Symposium mini-F2F and wondered about it's structure. Bill said that he has been using the $(xref) form of variables. Giovanni has been using SPARQL and notes that they are using $name for variables. So our using "double dollar" ($$name or $$1) aligns with this. Drummond pointed out that $(xref) has other potential applications, so reserving it for variables might be too broad a stroke. However $$ could work for both $$name, $$1, and $$(). John said that to his knowledge the ATI model is not yet using variables in XRIs. We agreed that the semantics of the term "variable" are in an XDI context, and not meant to apply to XRIs in general -- from that standpoint all subseqments are created equal. # DRUMMOND to note this as one of the tech topics.
