***** PRESENTATIONS *****

--- XDI CONNECTOR EXAMPLE

Markus gave a demonstration of an example XDI connector that the XDI2 open source project team has built for the Personal.com API. The demo included use of an XDI dictionary (see below) that defines the mapping between native XDI dictionary definitions and data elements defined by the Personal.com API. This dictionary mapping capability makes it much easier for code modules to be written (in any language) that can perform the connector functionality and render data from the API for a native data source into XDI.

Alex Levin of Personal.com was not able to attend; Markus will do a separate demo for him soon.

***** DECISION POINTS FOR THIS CALL *****

--- MULTIPLICITY (DRUMMOND)

   https://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/XdiMultiplicity/Discussion

Even though it is in Last Call, Bill has several points he wants to go over. He's added a number of examples to the Discussion page.

# MARKUS AND DRUMMOND volunteered to write up the same six examples Bill asks about on the Discussion page using the current Multiplicity proposal.

--- XDI MESSAGING PATTERNS (MARKUS)

We did not have time to discuss this on this call.

We discussed the dictionary format shown in the following spreadsheet based on the example dictionary patterns in the XDI Graph Patterns document.

# DRUMMOND to begin work on doing a formal proposal for this syntax.
