Subject: Re: [xri] XRD and related specifications
XRD 1.0 is a much simplified version of the XRDS 2.0 [1] OASIS document format. It is fully aligned with the IETF Web Linking RFC [2] , borrowing much from the ATOM format [3] <link> element. XRD has a similar purpose as POWDER [4] from the W3C, but is significantly simpler and optimized for identity and service discovery use cases. It also has some potential overlap with ISO 13250 (Topic Maps) [5], but is much simpler and more appropriate for new web services development. XRD 1.0 is being used by the OASIS WS-Calendar specification [6] proposal, as well as the IETF host-meta proposal [7].
