Subject: RE: [xdi] Identifying dogs and things
Hi Drummond/Markus, The semantics of a natural person or a legal entity is quite clear. So, there’s no confusion there. However, I do think that there are some “things” which may
not be owned by anyone – thus, cannot be easily identified under an “equal” or “at” name. For example, classic art works like “Picasso’s Guernica” or “Munch’s Scream” are not commonly seen as owned by someone. So, if one wanted to name these objects
likewise , =Guernica or =scream , I think that should be allowed. What do you think ? Thanks, Animesh From: xdi@lists.oasis-open.org [mailto:xdi@lists.oasis-open.org]
On Behalf Of Drummond Reed Les, per my last message, I agree with Markus. I prefer not to go into the old XRI semantics and I-Broker agreements and rather just focus with on current XDI semantics. But with these, an = identifier is used exclusively to identify a
natural person. If you wanted to identify a dog, you could use:
Similarly for a car:
But an =identifier by itself always represents a natural person (and the new XDI.org registration agreements should specify that). That's very clean, and makes the =authority branches of the XDI graph very clear. =Drummond On Mon, Nov 25, 2013 at 11:27 AM, Markus Sabadello <markus.sabadello@xdi.org> wrote: But (at least under the old I-Broker system) this would be a violation of the registration agreement.

I could have =rover who happens to be a +dog. Couldn't i? I could also have =les.chasen.car which happens to be a +car. I wouldn't have to have these in the = community but i could if i wanted to. |
