NOTES
Github Repository Support
We did not discuss this topic due to limited call attendance.
XDI Android App
Markus reported that he continues to make progress on the XDI Android app he has been working on, which demonstrates the functionality of XDI link contracts, data sharing, and messaging. Markus is currently focusing on improving the app’s user interface.
DIDs (Decentralized Identifiers), DID Objects, and their Relevance to XDI
We did not discuss this topic due to limited call attendance.
RDF / XDI Compatibility
Markus explored an idea about how to adapt the XDI graph model to RDF in cases where the constraint is to start with the RDF graph model. Markus pointed out that we have always assumed that the mapping of an XDI graph to an RDF graph is:
XDI literals are RDF literals
XDI relations are RDF properties
XDI contexts are RDF resources with a specific relationship.
Markus had the idea that if the constraint is that an implementation must use the RDF graph model, then the XDI graph model could be implemented “on top” of the XDI graph model.
For example, =markus would be a resource and <#email> would be a resource and then the literal would be the email value.
Markus suggested that you can define a profile of RDF that consisted of several key mappings:
A constraint that an RDF graph could have only one predicate for a literal (to maintain the unique addressability).
A single URI representing context.
A single URI representing unique instances (to replace blank nodes).
The end result of this thought process could be a graph model that is 100% compatible with RDF but still makes it possible to use XDI identifiers and XDI syntax.
NEXT REGULAR CALL
The next call will be the following week at the usual time (Monday 10AM PT). The link to where agenda items can be posted for the next meeting is: https://docs.google.com/
