Re: [xdi] Agenda: XDI TC Telecon Friday 9:00-10:30AM PT 2012-03-30

[Michael Schwartz <mike@gluu.org>]

TC:

1) Drummond's new graph patterns suggests that relational arcs can no 
longer point to literal nodes. This is a fundamental change to the rules 
of the graph that needs to be fully discussed by the TC.

2) The document also suggests that XDI statements can use "relative" 
references. For example... previously an XDI statement would look like 
this:
   =!1111+home/$is/=!1111$!1

Note how the target XRI is the full XRI address. Now Drummond is 
suggesting that XDI statements could use a shortcut for the target.
   =!1111+home/$is/$!1

Both of the above suggestions would setback the OX project month(s), and 
the benefit of changing these rules seems limited. Drummod has says that 
these changes are needed to support dictionaries. I would suggest that we 
make sure the dictionary solution use the graph model we currently have 
unless absolutely necessary.

Can we push discussion of #1,#2,#3 in the agenda below to email 
communication and focus on the above?
