All,

I've attempted to align the relevant standards to their prime focal
areas. We really need to be very clear about the different aspects,
mechanisms, and routes to Data Portability in relation to de-silo-
fication of the Web.

All,

Added URIs as URIs are not URLs. Yes, a URL can be a URI :-)

In a nutshell the Web provides access by reference to things that are
not always resources such as documents, images, and other files. You
can also reference abstract things such as People, Music, Places,
Events, and many other real world things. To do this you must be able
to explicitly identify a Person and a Document or File as separate
things which is what HTTP based URIs deliver withing the context of
the Web. Of course, a Document or File URL can server as a URI for a
Document or File, but this cannot be so for a Person, Place, or other
abstract thing mentioned in a document etc..

Hi,

It seems that while SGML (data interchange category) is arguably skippable,
ATOM (syndication category) should be included alongside with RSS...
despite heavily adopted and promoted by Google, it's still an open standard,
ie., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_%28standard%29

Yes? No? :-)

Cheers,
Aaron.

I definitely agree. While Atom standard is more flexible/suitable in
terms of interoperability, interexchange, etc. (my pov), RSS is much
wider adopted. So, that could make their chances even.

Would you guys please move this discussion into the technical action
group?

This is valuable stuff - but we need to start bringing smart guns like
you into the place where the forums are set up for such discussion.
