This document contains illustrations of six basic XDI graph patterns: Simple properties: properties that accept only a single literal value. Complex properties: properties that may accept multiple literal values as well as describe typing and ordering of those values. Simple subjects: subjects that may contain only instances of themselves and metadata describing those instances. Complex subjects: subjects that may contain all of the above. Link contracts: subgraphs used for XDI authorization. Messages: XDI documents used in the XDI protocol. It also illustrates how versioning may be applied to any branch of the graph. Note: this document uses the XDImetagraph symbols as documented in the XDI Graph Model 2011-02-09. XDI Graph Patterns OASIS XDI TC SubmissionDrummond Reed 2011-02-09
Notation Root node: Represents the root of an XDI graph Context node: Represents an XDI subject or non-literal XDI object Literal node: Represents a literal XDI object Contextual arc: Uniquely identifies a context node Relational arc: Links two context nodes Literal arc: Uniquely identifies a literal node Example root context literal “literal” contextual context literal contextual “literal” context contextual relational context
