Re: [xdi] Proposed additional X3 representation format, or a replacement for X3 Whitespace

[Drummond Reed <drummond.reed@xdi.org>]

Good question, Markus. I was looking over Bill's example and had a second question. The example shows that subcontexts begin with the string "_context". That, too, is a valid XRI string. I think it would be a mistake to start reserving XRIs to have special semantics unless they are $ words defined for this purpose.

So that's a second issue we need to address if we are going to make X3J part of the XDI Serialization spec.

Hi Bill,

I tried implementing your X3J format, but I have a question:
How would one distinguish between a literal and a reference?

E.g. if I have this X3J data:

{
��� "=markus":
��� ��� {
��� ��� ��� "+friend":��� "=bill.barnhill"
��� ��� }
}

How would I know if it translates to this graph:

=markus
��� ��� +friend
��� ��� ��� ��� =bill.barnhill

or to this graph:

=markus
��� ��� +friend
��� ��� ��� ��� "=bill.barnhill"

??

I've edited http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/X3Format to add text proposing an X3 representation that is directly in JSON as opposed to similar to JSON. �Given the broad adoption of JSON and the usefulness of this I'm seeing in my work I wanted to share it with the TC. �JSON format is still rough but works. I will add formatting rules section this weekend.
