RE: [xdi] Introducing XDI² (XDI-Squared)

Another thought is the example graphs in the XDI Graph Model document. They aren't large enough to test benchmarking, but they can test feature support, though each currently tests multiple features. I'd suggest maybe breaking them up into smaller messages so we can take a list of XDI features, apply the test XDI messages, and produce a Pass/Fail grading of a server.

Kind regards,

Yes I agree it would be great to come up with such a set of data and queries..

Obviously I have some unit testing for my code with some sample messages and queries that I thought made sense.

And Mike / OpenXDI also has such tests.

But if we could design a "standard set" that is on one hand realistic, and on the other hand also covers all of the XDI features, that would be really useful..

Great work Markus!

Do we have a standar XDI data set and queries to run on the different server implementations in order to compare/benchmark them?

One thought in terms of real life data...Joe Johnston tweeted about a 5m user data set. If we converted that into XDI, after anonymizing by hashing names and twitter ids. then that could be our test data set. It has the benefit of having real world characteristics.

Alternatively there is research performed which produced test social network datasets that were realistic based on Social Network Analysis - maybe we could find one of those packages and adapt it to XDI.

This is awesome! Nicely done Markus!
