No XDI Editors Subcommittee call was held today.

XDI & RDF

Drummond’s document describing the four key differences between the RDF and XDI graph models has resulted in a lot of feedback:

https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xdi/201501/msg00003/RDF-and-XDI-Graph-Models-v2.pdf

Based on this feedback, we started to discuss and work on an outline for a second draft:

Markus pointed to historical as well as current work on defining access control using RDF:

http://www.w3.org/wiki/WebAccessControl

There was broad support on the call to consider XDI an “extension” to RDF.

Variables

We continued to discuss variable syntax in order to complete the XDI ABNF as a part of the XDI Core 1.0 spec.
