Services and Metadata Discovery Coordination Working Group (Discovery)


Charter Proposal

In accordance with the OpenID Foundation IPR policies and procedures this note proposes the formation of a new working group chartered to produce an OpenID specification. As per Section 4.1 of the Policies, the proposed charter is below (still liable to change during this feedback period).


I. Name

Services and Metadata Discovery Coordination Working Group (Discovery)


II. Statement of Purpose

Produce a document describing the OpenID discovery workflow, updating the current mechanism to describe how to use OASIS specifications for discovery, to be drafted by the OASIS XRI TC. The intention is that the document will be incorporated as part of some future version of the OpenID Authentication spec.


III. Scope

Produce a document describing the use of OASIS discovery specifications as formulated by the OASIS XRI TC, for normative application by all other OpenID specifications. Produce a document describing the recommended migration of services discovery from the Yadis 1.0 specification to the discovery specifications currently being developed by the OASIS XRI TC. All types of identifiers addressed by OASIS XRI TC discovery (XRD 1.0) are within scope of this WG. Publish a list of service and resource types supported by the discovery mechanism.


IV. Specifications

OpenID Discovery, including a sub-spec for Trusted OpenID Discovery, and a best-practices guidance document for migration.


V. Anticipated audience

All those interested in the OpenID specifications.

 


VI. Language of business

English.


VII. Method of work

Mailing list discussion. Posting of intermediate drafts in the OpenID Wiki. Virtual conferencing on an ad-hoc basis.


VIII. Basis for completion of the activity

The discovery document is final and all deliverables have been incorporated into the OpenID Authentication spec, perhaps by reference.
