Def. Quota "Drummond Reed" <drummond.reed@xdi.org>:

Giovanni, thanks for creating this page.

I added a section at the end called Discussion, and then listed three
questions to start the discussion. I'll list them here for quick reference,
but I encourage TC members to respond inline on the wiki
page<http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/XdiNewFoundation>and then post a

reference to their comments here. That way the history of
the discussion -- and the conclusions -- are much easier to track.

Thanks,

=Drummond

DRUMMOND'S INITIAL QUESTIONS - Go to
http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/XdiNewFoundation to answer:

=== (From Drummond 2010-10-15) What sources can we cite for the generalized
definitions of these constructs/operators? ===
I'm suspecting that [[
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Modeling_Language|UML]] is one source
of the definitions of these concepts. Are there any others? This would be
very helpful when we draft our 1.0 specs, because we can include citations
of these definitions to help readers understand our choice of
constructs/operators.

=== (From Drummond 2010-10-15) What precisely is meant my attribution? ===
Do you mean "declaration of an attribute on a subject"?

=== (From Drummond 2010-10-15) What is the difference between aggregation
and contextualization? ===
Is this similar to the difference in UML between aggregation and
composition?

Hello,

following the AP I took yesterday night,

* Giovanni will post a wiki page with his proposed set of

constructs/operators for XDI

I've created this initial wikipage:

http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/XdiNewFoundation

Do not be scared by the word "new", my idea is that it is something "new"

to be build on top of our 3 years (or more) experience made both on the
graph syntax and on the RDF-like semantics.

The page is open to your editing/comments/additions to be discussed during

next phc, one week from now.

As a suggested way to proceed, we should first try to identify what we aim

to have in XDI, then, how this will be implemented in terms of operators and
patterns.

Best Regards,
Giovanni
