NOTES

Updated Specs

Markus made some minor updates to the Messaging and Link Contract specifications, per last week’s discussions:

http://xdi.org/xdi-spec-docbook/xdi/xdi-messaging-1.0/xdi-messaging-1.0-wd05.xml

http://xdi.org/xdi-spec-docbook/xdi/xdi-link-contracts-1.0/xdi-link-contracts-1.0-wd01.xml

Markus explained that he updated these two specifications according to proposals made last week (use of $from, $to, $contract).

DIDs, DDOs, and XDI

Markus has done some more work on using DIDs and DDOs for XDI registration and discovery.

DID Specification Working Draft 05:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z-9jX4PEWtyRFD5fEyyzEnWK_0ir0no1JJLuRu8O9Gs/

Markus has worked on a tool for generating DIDs and DDOs based on the XDI graph model:

https://server.xdi2.org/XDIRegistrar

Also see this wiki page:

https://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/XdiDID

We noted that the current DID Specification Working Draft 05 mentions JXD as a possible format for expressing DDOs, and that it contains XDI service endpoints as examples.
