1) UPDATES
Drummond has been gone for two weeks, so would like to get a general update, and also share news about the PDS Project and the Federated Social Web summit at OSCON last Sunday.
*** NOTE THE THAT REST OF THE AGENDA ITEMS ARE HOLDOVERS FROM THE LAST MEETING -- WE WILL DECIDE ON WHICH ONES TO TACKLE ON THE CALL ***
2) LINK CONTRACTS
First, Markus raised the following questions on the list several weeks ago:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xdi/201001/msg00010.html
- If link contracts are enabled at an XDI endpoint and no link contracts exists, what is the "default" behavior? Allow nothing? Allow only $get?
- Can an XDI endpoint have a special notion of the XDI endpoint "belonging" to a user?
- Is yes, does that user automatically have "full rights" to the XDI endpoint outside of normal link contract evaluation?
- As an alternative to signing XDI messages with a key, can an XDI message contain a user's password for authentication?
Second, Markus posed another excellent set of questions this week around link contract processing:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xdi/201006/msg00048.html
We need to discuss these as well.
3) PDX EXAMPLE APPS WIKI PAGE
This page was posted at Joe Johnston's request:
http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/PdxExampleApps
We'll talk about what we plan to do with it.
4) QUESTIONS AROUND $IS SEMANTICS
We did not close week before last week on whether we need an additional $word that is the equivalent of Higgins Personal Data Model (PDM) semantics of h:correlation, which is not as strong as $is.

5) COMPATIBILITY WITH COOL URIS
Continue previous discussion about the use of standard RDF URIs in XDI:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xdi/201006/msg00023.html
6) XDI ACCESS CONTROL QUESTIONS
Markus sent a proposal for how OAuth access tokens could be used with XDI:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xdi/201006/msg00021.html
Review and see how TC members feel about this approach.
7) XDI JSON SCHEMA
Check on current status:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xdi/201006/msg00022.html
Review and discuss next steps.
Update: Currently fixing a couple bugs so that the schema validates against the JSON meta-schema. I've also written a node.js X3J validation service that I'll be committing to github, which is what I am using to validate PDX X3J example.
8) NEW BUSINESS
XDI Camp - Bill is pursuing funding to go, Drummond is definitely going, who else is going or may be going?
