Announcements
The XDI TC has developed a new RDF based model and is currently awaiting the completion of the XRI Resolution 2.0 Committee Draft 02 specification by the XRI TC before commencing formal work on the XDI 1.0 specifications. See the XDI TC wiki for more information about the XDI RDF model and other current developments.
Overview
The purpose of the XDI TC is to define a generalized,
extensible service for sharing, linking, and synchronizing data over
the Internet and other data networks using XML documents and XRIs
(Extensible Resource Identifiers), a URI-compatible abstract identifier
scheme defined by the OASIS XRI Technical Committee

Additional Information
The goal of XDI is to enable data from any data source to be
identified, described, linked, and synchronized into an active,
machine-readable "dataweb" just as content from any content source can
be linked into the human-readable Web today.
In addition, XDI will enable controls over the authority, security,
privacy, and rights of shared data to be expressed in a special form of
XDI document called a link contract.
The XDI TC always welcomes new members. Please contact the chairs
for more information or join the TC directly via the links above.
