Proposal to eliminate value context node

Joseph has posted a proposal to eliminate the value context node, and instead have literals directly attached to attributes:

Markus has a diagram of XDI2’s implementation of the graph model:

XDI Connections

Let’s continue to discuss XDI connect requests, link contracts, templates, community 

contracts, requester contracts, etc.

One recent insight has been that there are “connection requests” and “connection invites”. Latest version of the “Link Contract Instantiation” document:

https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/54205/LinkContractInstantiation25Sep2014.pdf

Other open topics:

Template versioning - what if the Template Authority changes a template? How does this affect existing link contract instances?

What do “deferred” conection requests look like?

Variables and variable collections
We have been using variables such as {$from} or {$msg} or {$do}.

It seems we have consensus on variable syntax, but we may need to discuss in more detail how variables are processed.
Transactional integrity
We have discussed the topic of transactional integrity a number of times in the past without reaching a conclusion. This seems to now have new relevance in conjunction with link contract instantiation.

The following document has a section titled “XDI Message Transactional Integrity Notes”, let’s review and discuss:

NEXT CALL
The next call is next week at the regular time.
