The XRI authority graph model.

["Steven Churchill" <steven.churchill@xdi.org>]

All,

 

XRI Resolution has a well-defined abstract graph model.

 

(It had better!)

 

Although unfortunately the abstract graph model is not documented in the Resolution specification, the formal model *can* be derived from this specification.

 

I’ve written an article that explores this abstract graph model entitled “The XRI Polyarchy”. There is a link to this article from the http://dev.inames.net/wiki/XRI_CanonicalID_Verification which explores CanonicalID verification. (The latter page also contains valuable information about XRI Synonyms with regard to the XRI authority graph.)
