XDI and Next Generation Networks

[Giovanni Bartolomeo <giovanni.bartolomeo@uniroma2.it>]

Dear All,

sorry for the long silence :-(... with the TC concentrating its 
activity on XRI new specs, relevant for the new XDI RDF model, I've 
in the meanwhile focused on how to map the XDI abstract protocol in 
concrete network protocols, targeting in particular the Next 
Generation Networks model as defined by TISPAN.
I think this will be relevant to XDI as it would pave the way to its 
use in a wider scope than the Web, leveraging on  the convergence of 
Internet and Telecommunications services, as we suggested in the charter.
Some early outcomes are available in this document 
(http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/25615/Draft-Contrib-OASIS-XDI-XDM.pdf) 
which I've just uploaded on the server. (For your convenince, I've 
also uploaded my earlier presentation about introducing notification 
in XDI, here 
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/25614/Contrib-XDI-TC-Introducing-notification-in-XDI.pdf).
I want to outline that this document represents only a possible way 
to implementation, without affecting in any way the underlying data 
model chosen for XDI (ATI or RDF). Hope to receive feedback from you 
and continue this activity.

Best Regards,
Giovanni

PS: I'll come to Barcellona for the IDTrust Workshop on Oct 22. I 
hope it will be a possibility to meet physically some of you and 
maybe exchange some ideas about the future of XDI :-)
