NEWS & UPDATES

New XDI-Related Paper

Drummond will provide an update about a new privacy-related paper to be launched at the Privacy by Design User Forum in Toronto on Dec 5 in which XDI semantic data interchange plays a key role.

PRESENTATIONS/DISCUSSIONS

Progress on Working Drafts

Report on progress on XDI Core and XDI Messaging.

XDI Design Goals

Drummond posted a wiki page with the proposed text for the Design Goals section of the XDI Core 1.0 spec:

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

XDI Symbol Table

We will review the new table Dan Blum has developed:

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

ABNF Update

Joseph and Drummond have been continuing to work on the ABNF for XDI Core 1.0. As sections are finished they will be mirrored on the XDI TC wiki ABNF page:

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

The first sections there are proposed to be final so TC members should provide any comments ASAP. Animesh also would like to go over the ABNF for discovery keys.

Terminology

On the list we have been discussing two terminology questions:

“Global graph” vs. “outer graph”.
Alternatives to the term “root” that help emphazise the heterarchical nature of the XDI graph model.

Merging Graphs and Graph-Relative vs. Authority-Relative Statements

We will contain discussion about whether certain statements in an XDI graph should be “graph-relative” or “root-relative”, e.g.:

<$public><$key>&/&/”...”

or “authority-relative”, e.g.:

=markus<$public><$key>&/&/”...”

The “Unauthorized $ref Problem” and “Unbounded $set Problem”

We will return to these and determine next steps.
