AGENDA

Order Numbers: Begin with Zero or One?

After our realization during the XDI Core Immersion calls last week that order numbers (e.g., @~1, @~2, @~3) needed to be relative identifiers, Drummond concluded that they have moved further from being directly comparable to an array, and closer to an ordered list.

Which raises the issue: while the order count for an array most often begins with zero, for an ordered list it begins with one. The question for the TC: which is going to be more intuitive for developers and users of XDI graphs?

XDI Core Terminology: Person, Authority, Actor

See this table from the latest draft of Drummond’s sections of XDI Core:

XDI Term	Includes Person	Includes Group	Includes Thing
XDI person	Yes	No	No
XDI authority	Yes	Yes	No
XDI actor	Yes	Yes	Yes

XDI Core Spec Drafting Update

We will review Drummond’s latest update to the XDI Core 1.0 draft coming out of “XDI Core 1.0 Immersion Week”:

https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=56383&wg_abbrev=xdi

This version of Drummond's sections of XDI Core is now complete through the Core Relations section. The two remaining normative sections Drummond needs to complete are: 1) XDI Addressing, and 2) Versioning.

Proposed Completion Schedule for XDI Core

The goal is to take Core to a Committee Specification Draft vote by the end of September. The schedule Drummond proposes:

Week of Aug 31: Complete XDI Addressing & Versioning.
Week of Sept 7: Complete ABNF
Week of Sept 14: Complete Serialization
Week of Sept 21: Complete Introduction and Example Graph
Week of Sept 28: Complete Appendicies

Messaging Walkthrough and XDI Channels

We will continue Markus’ “messaging walkthrough” and a variation of this flow called “change of address walkthrough” so that Markus can raise questions and issues he is running across. See:
