Overview:

 

What do OpenID, the Higgins
Project, i-names, and XDI (XRI Data Interchange) all have in common? They all
use the XRI 2.0 digital identifier specifications and XRDS discovery format
from the OASIS XRI (Extensible Resource Identifier) Technical Committee.  Come
to this one-hour webinar and learn: 

 

* Why distributed
directories, digital identity frameworks, ontologies, reputation systems, and
other emerging Web technologies need abstract structured identifiers. 

 

* How XRI syntax combines
the best features of URNs (Uniform Resource Names) and HFNs (Human-Friendly
Names). 

 

* How XRIs are
backwards-compatible with URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers) and IRIs
(Internationalized Resource Identifiers).

 

* How XRDS documents are
rapidly becoming the defacto service discovery format for user-centric identity
and data portability. 

 

* The problems XRI and XRDS
solved for OpenID Authentication 2.0.
