The following are some ntoe regarding "X3" a more human readable
representation of the RDFX XDI syntax. This would not replace RDFX but
would enable easier human creation/understanding of XDI documents,
similar to N3 does for RDF.

This is a first cut at the example XDI document recently posted, in X3
syntax:
=/$link/drummond
=drummond/$ref/=drummond.reed .
	(/$ref$object)/+person .
	(/+email)/drummond.reed@gmail.com .
	(/+email+home)/(/+email)
@/$link/cordance
@cordance/$link/dsr
@cordance*dsr/$ref/=drummond .
	(/$ref$object)/person .
	(/+email)//drummond.reed@cordance.net .
	(/+email+work)/(/+email) .
	(/email+home)/(=drummond/+email)
+/$link/email .
	(/../home) . {! This is a comment. Just like (/x) means the pred
applies to curr subj, (/../) means object applied
                      to current subj and pred !}
	(/../work) .
	(/../string)
+email/$ref$object/$data+string .
	(/$link)/+home .
	(/../+work)
$/$link/ref .
	(/../link) .
	(/../object) .
	(/../data)
$ref/$link$object/$object
$ref$object/$ref$object/$object
$link/$link$object/$object
$link$object/$ref$object/$object
$data/$link$object/+string

Somewhat more readable, though I think the last set (past
+email/$ref$object/$data+string) is confusing in either form. What, in
english sentences, do the last 9 XRIs mean to the rest of you?

Best regards,
Bill

(xdi-rdfx-model-v1.pdf) uploaded

This PDF is recommended reading before our joint XRI/XDI telecon
tomorrow.
It proposes a simplified pure RDF model for  XDI documents and
dictionaries. We will go over it as agenda item #4. Word version and
additional component documents (RDFX schema, example XDI document,
powerpoint showing RDFX graph) will be uploaded next.

 -- Mr Drummond Reed
