Subject: Resource type representation
Discussion points of the use of "type" within XDI 1) A single <resource> has many types * Data type "what is the structure of this instance" (Several: XSD type, ebXML type, Liberty type, XNS type, synonyms) * Category "what group does this instance belong in" (Several: +home, +personal, +afterWork) 2) How is it represented? * As a URI to an XSD type? * As an XRI? * As an XRI representing an XSD <resource>? (if so, could it be represented as XML <resource>) 3) Where could it go? * Not as an attribute <resource type=...> (can't have many) * As an XRI (with a "type" attribute) <xri type=datatype/category> * As a <type> element? * <datatype> element? * <category> element? 3) Examples * As an XRI <resource> <xri type=ename>=Loren/Cards/EpokCard</xri> <xri type=enumber>=:342.34/821.4</xri> <xri type=datatype>http://example.com/BusinessCard.xsd</xri> <xri type=datatype>@Epok/Schemas/BusinessCard</xri> <xri type=category>+work</xri> ... * As an XML element <resource> <ename>=Loren/Cards/EpokCard</ename> <enumber>=:342.34/821.4</enumber> <datatype>http://example.com/BusinessCard.xsd</datatype> <datatype>@Epok/Schemas/BusinessCard</datatype> <category>+work</category> ...
