Subject: RE: [xri] XRI discovery -vs- resolution
I agree with Wil's point. With regard to Les' point about DNS resolution, I feel that XRI resolution is pretty much analogous: if you consider DNS names to be symbolic names for a given DNS "resource", then you can view DNS resolution as "obtaining the metadata for the given named resource". I feel that XRI resolution is the same except that it returns an XRDS as resource metadata instead of DNS resource metadata. ~ Steve -----Original Message----- From: Tan, William [mailto:William.Tan@neustar.biz] Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 11:28 AM To: xri@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: RE: [xri] XRI discovery -vs- resolution Discovery would be more suited to finding out the available services on an authority (bare I-name / I-number). Whenever a service selection criterion is present, I think the term "resolution" is appropriate. So, there are a few operations on any given XRI: Discover(authority) => set of services + canonical IDs + provider ID etc. Resolve(xri, type, mtype) => set of services (mostly one) that matches the criteria. =wil (http://xri.net/=wil) > -----Original Message----- > From: Victor Grey [mailto:victor@idcommons.org] > Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 12:00 AM > To: xri@lists.oasis-open.org > Subject: Re: [xri] XRI discovery -vs- resolution > > +1 > =vg > > > Chasen, Les wrote: > > I was wondering what everyone thinks about the idea of instead of > > using the term XRI resolution we start calling it XRI discovery?
