RESPONSE: PDF format: http://docs.oasis-open.org/xri/xri-resolution/2.0/specs/cs01/xri-resolution-V2.0 -cs-01.pdf HTML format: http://docs.oasis-open.org/xri/xri-resolution/2.0/specs/cs01/xri-resolution-V2.0 -cs-01.html Word format: http://docs.oasis-open.org/xri/xri-resolution/2.0/specs/cs01/xri-resolution-V2.0 -cs-01.doc SCHEMA: The RelaxNG schema files, that are included normatively in the specification document, are available as separate files at: http://docs.oasis-open.org/xri/xri-resolution/2.0/specs/cd03/xrd.rnc http://docs.oasis-open.org/xri/xri-resolution/2.0/specs/cd03/xrds.rnc Additionally, W3C schema files are available as separate files at: http://docs.oasis-open.org/xri/xri-resolution/2.0/specs/cd03/xrd.xsd http://docs.oasis-open.org/xri/xri-resolution/2.0/specs/cd03/xrds.xsd ********************* b) The editable version of all files that are part of the Committee Specification; RESPONSE: Word format: http://docs.oasis-open.org/xri/xri-resolution/2.0/specs/cs01/xri-resolution-V2.0 -cs-01.doc The RelaxNG schema files, that are included normatively in the specification document, are available as separate files at: http://docs.oasis-open.org/xri/xri-resolution/2.0/specs/cd03/xrd.rnc http://docs.oasis-open.org/xri/xri-resolution/2.0/specs/cd03/xrds.rnc Additionally, W3C schema files are available as separate files at: http://docs.oasis-open.org/xri/xri-resolution/2.0/specs/cd03/xrd.xsd http://docs.oasis-open.org/xri/xri-resolution/2.0/specs/cd03/xrds.xsd ********************* c) Certification by the TC that all schema and XML instances included in the specification, whether by inclusion or reference, including fragments of such, are well formed, and that all expressions are valid; RESPONSE: The XRI TC certifies that to the best of our knowledge, all XML schemas in the XRI Resolution 2.0 specification are well formed and valid. Note that while the specification includes both RelaxNG and XSD schemas for convenience, the RelaxNG schemas are normative. ********************* d) A clear English-language summary of the specification; RESPONSE: The XRI Resolution 2.0 specification, which is a companion specification to the XRI Syntax 2.0 specification for abstract structured identifiers, provides a simple standardized method for performing resource discovery on either HTTP(S) URIs or XRIs. XRI Resolution 2.0 defines a simple generic XML discovery document format called XRDS (Extensible Resource Descriptor Sequence), a standard protocol for requesting XRDS documents using HTTP(S) URIs, and standard protocol for resolving XRIs using XRDS documents and HTTP(S) URIs. Both generic and trusted versions of the XRI resolution protocol are defined (the latter using HTTPS [RFC2818] and/or signed SAML assertions [SAML]). In addition, an HTTP(S) proxy resolution service is specified both to provide network-based resolution services and for backwards compatibility with existing HTTP(S) infrastructure. ********************* e) A statement regarding the relationship of this specification to similar work of other OASIS TCs or other standards developing organizations; RESPONSE: Although XRDS documents bear a conceptual similarity to Uniform Resource Characteristics (URC) documents as proposed in IETF RFC 1737, the IETF did not further pursue URC development. To our knowledge no other OASIS TC or SDO has defined a simple generic XML discovery document format and resolution protocol. ********************* f) Certification by at least three OASIS member organizations that they are successfully using the specification; RESPONSE: The following OASIS members have submitted certifications of successful usage: Planetwork, Inc. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xri/200803/msg00022.html XDI.org http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xri/200803/msg00038.html NeuStar http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xri/200803/msg00048.html Cordance http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xri/200804/msg00005.html ********************* g) The beginning and ending dates of the public review(s), a pointer to the announcement of the public review(s), and a pointer to an account of each of the comments/issues raised during the public review period(s), along with its resolution; RESPONSE: XRI Resolution 2.0 Committee Draft 02 was submitted for a 60-day public review on 02 December 2007, ending 1 February 2008. The announcement is available at: http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200712/msg00002.html XRI Resolution 2.0 Committee Draft 03 was submitted for an additional 15-day public review on 10 March 2008, ending 26 March 2008. The announcement is available at: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200803/msg00004.html The XRI TC published an accounting of the resolution of the comments/issues raised during these comment periods at: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/27850/xri-resolution-2.0-cd-02 -and-cd-03-comments-log.doc ********************* h) An account of and results of the voting to approve the specification as a Committee Specification, including the date of the ballot and a pointer to the ballot; RESPONSE: The ballot to approve XRI Syntax 2.0 Committee Draft 03 as a Committee Specification was held via an online ballot commencing 4 April 2008 and ending 11 April 2008. The vote was unanimously in favor, with 19 of 21 eligible TC members voting. The ballot is published at: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xri/ballot.php?id=1446 ********************* i) An account of or pointer to votes and comments received in any earlier attempts to standardize substantially the same specification, together with the originating TC's response to each comment; RESPONSE: There have been no earlier attempts to standardize this specification. ********************* j) A pointer to the publicly visible comments archive for the originating TC; RESPONSE: The XRI TC Comment Archives are available at: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xri-comment/ ********************* k) A pointer to any minority reports submitted by one or more Members who did not vote in favor of approving the Committee Specification, which report may include statements regarding why the member voted against the specification or that the member believes that Substantive Changes were made which have not gone through public review; or certification by the Chair that no minority reports exist. RESPONSE: No minority reports were submitted. ********************* Respectfully submitted, Gabe Wachob and Drummond Reed Co-Chairs, OASIS XRI TC
