Subject: RE: [xri] Aligning XRD with Link (Header/Element)
Ever since Eran explained this at the IIW and XRI TC F2F sessions two weeks ago, I've been wondering this same thing. Given that XRDS/XRD has probably penetrated <1% of its eventual installed user base if successful, now's the time to make this change if ever. I find the direct mapping of semantics compelling, especially as XRD spreads out to a much larger audience of developers. Question: would <Type> become <Rel> under the parent XRD element as well, or would that remain <Type>? =Drummond > -----Original Message----- > From: Eran Hammer-Lahav [mailto:eran@hueniverse.com] > Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2008 12:00 PM > To: xri@lists.oasis-open.org > Subject: [xri] Aligning XRD with Link (Header/Element) > > As currently proposed: > > <XRD> > <Service> > <Type>http://example.com/relationship</Type> > <MediaType>application/xml</MediaType> > <URI>http://example.org/document</URI> > </Service> > </XRD> > > Is semantically equivalent to: > > HTTP Header: > Link: <http://example.org/document>; > rel="http://example.com/relationship"; > type="application/xml"; > > HTML Element: > <Link rel="http://example.com/relationship" > href="http://example.org/document" type="application/xml" /> > > Given that Link(s) are becoming the prominent mechanism for metadata on > the > web, I think there is great value in lining up XRD with that trend.
