Subject: XRI TC: Submission for Public Review of Commitee Draft
Mary, The OASIS Extensible Resource Identifier (XRI) TC in its meeting today approved three specifications -- XRI Syntax V2.0, XRI Resolution V2.0, and XRI Metadata V2.0 -- as Committee Drafts. In this meeting it also approved submitting these for public review (see minutes at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/11846/MINUTES-2005-03-14-M EETING.txt). The TC would like to begin the public review immediately. Below is a short description of the specification and a list of files. Description ----------- The XRI V2.0 suite of specifications define a syntax and resolution protocol for abstract identifiers -- identifiers that are independent of a specific location, domain, application, or protocol. The XRI specifications build directly on the foundation provided by the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) and IRI (Internationalized Resource Identifier) specifications (RFC 3986 and 3987). Unlike URNs (Uniform Resource Names, RFC 2141), XRIs support both persistent and reassignable abstract identifiers. In addition they offer several other features required for a uniform abstract identification layer, including unlimited federation, cross-references, and global context symbols. Files ----- The file are available here: 1. XRI Syntax V2.0 Committee Draft 01 defines the normative ABNF grammar for XRIs, transformations from XRIs into IRIs and URIs, relative XRI references, and normalization/comparison. It is available at: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/11852/xri-syntax-V2.0-cd-0 1.pdf 2. XRI Resolution V2.0 Committee Draft 01 defines an HTTP/HTTPS-based resolution protocol for XRIs, including both generic and trusted resolution. The latter uses SAML assertions based on the new SAML 2.0 specifications. It is available at: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/11853/xri-resolution-V2.0- cd-01.pdf 3. XRI Metadata V2.0 Committee Draft 01 defines four namespaces under the XRI global context symbol "$" for common types of identifier metadata, including language tags, date/time stamps, version identifiers, and annotations. It is available at: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/11854/xri-metadata-V2.0-cd -01.pdf 4. Introduction to XRIs Working Draft 04 is a non-normative introduction to the uses and features of XRIs. This work-in-progress is intended to serve as an entry point for the XRI 2.0 suite. The XRI TC encourages feedback and input on this document from other OASIS members. It is available at: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/11857/xri-intro-V2.0-wd-04 .pdf Please let me know if you need any additional information.
