1) LINK CONTRACTS

First, Markus raised the following questions on the list several weeks ago:

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xdi/201001/msg00010.html

- If link contracts are enabled at an XDI endpoint and no link contracts exists, what is the "default" behavior? Allow nothing? Allow only $get?
- Can an XDI endpoint have a special notion of the XDI endpoint "belonging" to a user?
- Is yes, does that user automatically have "full rights" to the XDI endpoint outside of normal link contract evaluation?
- As an alternative to signing XDI messages with a key, can an XDI message contain a user's password for authentication?

Second, Markus posed another excellent set of questions this week around link contract processing:

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xdi/201006/msg00048.html

We need to discuss these as well.

2) PDX EXAMPLE APPS WIKI PAGE

This page was posted at Joe Johnston's request:

http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/PdxExampleApps

We'll talk about what we plan to do with it.

3) QUESTIONS AROUND $IS SEMANTICS

We did not close week before last week on whether we need an additional $word that is the equivalent of Higgins Personal Data Model (PDM) semantics of h:correlation, which is not as strong as $is.

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xdi/201006/msg00036.html

4) COMPATIBILITY WITH COOL URIS

Continue previous discussion about the use of standard RDF URIs in XDI:

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xdi/201006/msg00023.html

5) XDI ACCESS CONTROL QUESTIONS

Markus sent a proposal for how OAuth access tokens could be used with XDI:

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xdi/201006/msg00021.html

Review and see how TC members feel about this approach.

6) PDX EXAMPLE DOCUMENT

Continue reviewing the list of questions about

http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/PdxExample

These included:

-$is

-relationship btw PDX and FOAF

-associativity

-"complex predicate"

-usage of "relative" ref e.g. (/+postal+address)

-"how much" goes in the subject and "how much" in the predicate...

-$ as a suffix

7) XDI JSON SCHEMA

Check to see if Markus or others have reviewed Bill's schema:

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xdi/201006/msg00022.html

Review and discuss next steps.

Update: Currently fixing a couple bugs so that the schema validates against the JSON meta-schema. I've also written a node.js X3J validation service that I'll be committing to github, which is what I am using to validate PDX X3J example.

8) NEW BUSINESS
XDI Camp - Bill is pursuing funding to go, Drummond is definitely going, who else is going or may be going?

9) NEXT CALL
