Subject: RE: [xri] XRI comments from W3C TAG
Jamie, Thanks very much for your summary of the current status. Just to reinterate the TC's plan based on our conversations on this subject in January: #1: We plan to first finish the XRI 2.0 suite of specifications. With XRI Resolution 2.0 nearing completion, that leaves just XRI Metadata 2.0 and XRI Type Metadata 2.0, which are also maturing, so we don't think this will take much longer. These new specifications will then need to undergo public review. #2: We then want to prepare a document and powerpoint explaining the XRI problem space, the use cases for which TC members are adopting XRI syntax and resolution, and how XRI adoption is already happening in the market. We think this will go a long ways towards explaining the business case for XRI and help dispel a number of misconceptions about it with respect to HTTP URIs, URNs, and other types of identifiers. #3: With these materials we then hope to have in-depth conversations explaining XRI and answering questions form the W3C TAG, other OASIS members, and industry analysts. Once we have completed this cycle of activities, the XRI 2.0 specification suite should be ready for a full OASIS Standard vote.

I am sending this note just to confirm recent conversations about our current plans regarding them. We'd heard that the W3C TAG may have expressed concern last Autumn that their mostly-adverse comments about XRI were not answered. The OASIS XRI TC did respond to the comments as the OASIS rules require, as reflected in the disposition log and public postings; however, those rules do not dictate separate return correspondence from the TC to each commenting member of the public. Earlier this year, we discussed the possibility that the TC might nevertheless wish to engage the W3C TAG directly by an elective reply. We discussed some of the likely issues and arguments in TC conference calls. Instead of advancing the XRI Syntax v2.0 spec at that time, by itself, the TC elected to postpone that spec (and the reply) until additional pieces of the work were completed. Instead, the TC indicated that you plan to provide a broader set of specs for wide review later this year, along with more information on current instances of adoption and business use cases. Of course, any specific constructive criticism from the W3C group will be most welcome as well. If we are asked by our W3C colleagues about the work, we will confirm that the TC and OASIS plan to reply in more detail later this year, once an expanded package is ready for public review and further discussion. Mary and Ram and I tremendously enjoyed seeing many of you in San Francisco at the live meetings last week. We are proud to have OASIS associated with the XRI and XDI efforts, and delighted with your continued success and accelerating popularity among business users.
