PRIORITIES FOR VRM + PERSONAL CLOUD DAY MONDAY MAY 6

This Internet Identity Workshop pre-meeting day will include a personal cloud developer intensive where we will be talking lots of XDI. Let’s discuss our priorities for what we want to show.

PRESENTATIONS/DISCUSSIONS

XDI $SET DEMO

Markus can show a demo of how the XDI2 server uses the $set operation to store XDI data in a remote cloud storage component and how this differs from $add and $mod.

ABNF

We’re not at a decision point yet but Joseph and Drummond will give an update on progress on the revised ABNF:

DECISION POINTS FOR THIS CALL

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

JSON SERIALIZATION OPTIONS

Now that syntax revisions are done and the ABNF is in progress, the next major decision point is serialization. There have been four recent developments in this area.

First, on 2013-04-06 Joseph proposed a new type of JSON serialization based on a statement parse tree format:

Second, this Drummond to propose a type of JSON serialization based on a representation of the XDI graph tree:

Third, Drummond updated the XDI Display Format proposal to bring it current with the revised XDI syntax and also broke it into two variations:

1. Single-line display format (strictly one line per XDI statement, no nesting).

2. Double-line display format (one line for each unique subject/predicate pair, a second indented line for each object of that pair, nesting for inner graphs).

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

Fourth, Joseph has compiled an analysis of these different formats to help guide us in deciding which serialization formats it makes sense to pursue.
