DECISION POINTS FOR THIS CALL

This week's decision queue is the following set of proposals:

JSON MODEL

Out of last week’s discussions, a new proposal has been developed based on the JSON data model:

   https://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/JsonModel

This is to resolve open issues in the ABNF as covered on the following pages:

   https://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/XdiAbnf 

   https://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/XdiAbnf/Discussion

   https://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/ContextFunctions

We will review the following specific revisions and open issues:

#1: SHOULD ELEMENTS BE REQUIRED TO BE ORDERED?

Drummond made this revision yesterday to match the JSON data model. This means only member contexts are unordered. An example of what this looks would now look like for a set of 3 email address. In this example:

The first statement is for a “singleton” -- the default email address for ="">

The next 3 statements are an array of element contexts to order the collection

The final 3 statements are the 3 instances of email addresses, each identified with a UUID (note that UUIDs are not required - any unique !number will work)

=drummond+email<$string>/$ref/

      =drummond+email!uuid:f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e0001<$string>

=drummond+email[1]/$ref/

      =drummond+email!uuid:f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e0001

=drummond+email[2]/$ref/

      =drummond+email!uuid:9ce739f0-7665-11e2-bcfd-0800200c0002

=drummond+email[3]/$ref/

      =drummond+email!uuid:3a96e460-7be9-11e2-b92a-0800200c0003

=drummond+email!uuid:f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e0001<$string>/<>/

      ””

=drummond+email!uuid:9ce739f0-7665-11e2-bcfd-0800200c0002<$string>/<>/

      ””

=drummond+email!uuid:3a96e460-7be9-11e2-b92a-0800200c0003<$string>/<>/

      ””

#2: ALLOW BOTH MUTABLE AND IMMUTABLE ORDERING? WITH WHAT PREFIX?

Mutable ordering uses unprefixed digits, e.g., [3], or a * prefix, e.g., [*3]. Immutable uses either a $ prefix, e.g., [$3], or a ! prefix, e.g., [!3].

#3: SHOULD THE ATOMIC JSON DATATYPES BE SPELLED OUT OR SINGLE LETTERS?

$object	OR	$o

$array		OR	$a

$string		OR	$s

$number	OR	$n

$boolean	OR	$b

$null		(which may not actually be needed)

MESSAGE PARAMETERS (MARKUS & DRUMMOND)

We will review the updated XDI Message Patterns proposal page including the Parameters pattern section.
