AGENDA

1) $ADD$$

This topic is a holdover from last week's agenda:

In Higgins-related work, Markus, Drummond, and Paul have repeatedly seen a
pattern where an XDI client needs to request that an XDI server assign an
XRI for a new resource. This is normally a $add operation, but typically
that would produce a simple $true or $false response from the server. In the
same pattern of using a return type modifier, such as $get$a$xsd$boolean to
request a $true/$false answer as to the existence of an XDI resource, Markus
and Drummond are proposing using the XDI variable $$ modifier with $add,
i.e., $add$$, to request that the server perform the $add operation and then
return the XRI assigned to the resource.


2) PREPARING THE CASE FOR GLOBAL CROSS-REFERENCES IN XRI 3.0

With the XRI TC F2F (Nov. 13/14) after Internet Identity Workshop (Nov.
10-12) rapidly approaching, the XDI TC has the action item to prepare the
case for global cross-references in XRI 3.0. Even the proposed XDI variable
identifier $$ is an example of this syntax at work. We'll discuss
preparation of a presentation to the XRI TC next week.
