Andy Dale and his team at ooTao have written the first implementation of the XDI data sharing protocol, which Identity Commons will use for profile sharing. As important a step that this is, Andy’s best contribution to date, in my opinion, has been his excellent “Introduction to XDI” PowerPoint slides, which he recently updated. (IMU)
Last month, I spent an intensive day with Andy, Steve Churchill, and Owen Davis reviewing the XDI architecture. It was very enlightening, and it gave me greater faith in the decision to use XDI for data sharing and link contracts. Of course, I still had my gripes. I recorded some notes and observations at XDI Data Sharing. (IMV)
