About
This is the home page for current links to materials documenting the XDI RDF model -- the XDI data interchange model based on the RDF graph model as defined by the W3C Semantic Web activity.
Documents
At this time, The XDI RDF Model is the single best document for understanding the overall design of XDI and how it uses XRI structured identifiers to provide a semantic data interchange protocol. It is a PDF file from the XDI TC document repository that describes the XDI RDF Model and provides extensive examples. It is currently at version 14 dated 2010-01-20. We especially recommend the examples as they help orient newcomers quickly to how XDI works to solve real world data sharing challenges such as persistent data identification, discovery, permissioning, versioning, and ontology sharing.
Wiki Pages
X3Format documents the compact text serialization format for XDI RDF.
XdiRdfXmlSchema documents the XML serialization format for XDI RDF.
XdiOne/RdfGraphModel is the working area for the XDI 1.0 Addressing and RDF Graph Model specification.
Example Utilities/Code
See a full set of XDI utilities based on the XDI For Java Project. These utilities include XDI format conversion, messaging, versioning, signatures, queries, and even graphing.
