How to parse XDI DISPLAY format

[Markus Sabadello <markus.sabadello@xdi.org>]

Hi XDI TC,

Today on the XDI Implementer's Call I had a longer discussion with Michael Andronov, who has successfully stored XDI data in Affinity..

One of the things we talked about was the proper way to parse XDI DISPLAY format.

This proposal only says that there is one XDI statement per line, but it doesn't specify the syntax of an XDI statement.

And then page 8 of the XDI Graph Model document has some information about XDI Addressing that is relevant.

So I think the XDI DISPLAY proposal should say that an XDI statement is this (based on the rules on page 8 of the XDI Graph Model).

xdi-subject "/" xdi-predicate "/" xdi-object

Does this sound right?

I also think there should be an explanation why an XDI statement cannot be defined with XRI 3.0 syntax alone, i.e.

xri-segment-nz "/" xri-segment-nz "/" xri-segment-nz
