PRESENTATIONS/DISCUSSIONS

POSSIBLE CLOSURE OF THE XRI TC

Chet Ensign has inquired whether the XRI TC is ready to be closed down and have its activities taken over by the XDI TC.

SYNTAX DEMO

Markus should be ready to show a demo of the updated syntax.

DECISION POINTS FOR THIS CALL

This week's decision queue is the following set of proposals:

SYNTAX CLOSURE

We are 98% closed on the syntax revisions. Drummond posted the final two issues to:

  https://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/XdiSyntaxExamples

The issues are:

1. Recommendation to apply square bracket [ ] syntax to classes and not singletons.

2. Decision about colon (or an alternate) for the value context.

ABNF

With the new syntax we need to prepare the new ABNF. Drummond has done a first draft at:

 https://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/XdiAbnf/Discussion (see the 2013-04-18 comment)

$SET OPERATION

Recent discussions have produced good reasons to move forward with the $set operation that has been discussed several times in the past. See the first draft proposal at:

  https://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/SetOperation

HTTP REST INTERFACE

Another topic discussed many times is an HTTP REST interface. The addition of a $set operation could make this easier. We’ll reopen this topic.

JSON SERIALIZATION OPTIONS

If there is time we’ll also go over Joseph’s progress on alternative JSON serialization options.
