INTERNET-DRAFT M. Yevstifeyev, Ed. Intended Status: Historic August 7, 2011 Expires: February 8, 2012 The 'xri' URI Scheme draft-yevstifeyev-xri-uri-rsrv-01 Abstract This document is a formal record on 'xri' Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) scheme, which used to be used in URIs mapped from Extensible Resource Identifiers (XRIs). Currently, use of this scheme is deprecated; this document registers it in the corresponding IANA registry as 'historical'. Status of this Memo This Internet-Draft is submitted to IETF in full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79. Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), its areas, and its working groups.

Introduction The Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) Extensible Resource Identifier (XRI) Technical Committee (TC), referred to as XRI TC within this document, has developed the specification of Extensible Resource Identifies (XRIs), which are a protocol element that is a superset of Internalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs) [RFC3987] and is designed to suit Requirements for Uniform Resource Names (URNs), laid out in RFC 1737 [RFC1737], even though they are not URNs [RFC2141] themselves. Version 2.0 of XRI Syntax specification [XRISyntax2], Section 2.3.1, specified how to map XRIs to IRI references [RFC3987] and URI references [RFC3986]. It mentioned that the scheme name used in such IRIs or URIs is "xri". Version 3.0 of XRI Syntax specification [XRISyntax3] deprecated use of 'xri' IRIs and URIs; this document registers the 'xri' URI scheme as 'historical' for community record. 1.1. Community Consensus The Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) has the Technical Committee (TC), which is responsible for developing and maintaining XRI specifications, - XRI TC. This document has been prepared for this TC and has received its excessive review, which revealed wide consensus of the TC's members. [IMPORTANT: Currently, this document is only a subject for the aforementioned review; the paragraph above actually does not represent TC consensus.] 2. Registration Template for 'xri' URI Scheme This section contains the registration template for 'xri' URI scheme, as required by [RFC4395]. URI scheme name: xri Status: Historical URI scheme syntax: see Section 2.2 and 2.3 of [XRISyntax2] URI scheme semantics: see [XRIResolution2] XRI scheme encoding considerations: see Section 2.1 of [XRISyntax2] Yevstifeye Expires February 8, 2012 [Page 2] INTERNET DRAFT The 'xri' URI Scheme August 7, 2011 Protocols that use the scheme: see [XRIResolution2] Security considerations: see Section 3 of RFC xxxx Contact: {TBD} Author/Change controller: Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) References: see Section 5 of RFC xxxx [RFC Editor Note: Please replace xxxx with number of this RFC] 3. Security Considerations Security considerations for XRIs are discussed in Section 3 of [XRISyntax2] and Section 18 of [XRIResolution2]. 4. IANA Considerations IANA is asked to register the 'xri' URI scheme using the template of Section 2. 5. References 5.1.
