The 'xri' URI Scheme
draft-yevstifeyev-xri-uri-rsrv-03
Abstract
The purpose of this document is to register the 'xri' Uniform
Resource Identifier (URI) scheme, which is used in URIs mapped from
Extensible Resource Identifiers (XRIs), in the corresponding IANA
registry under 'provisional' category.

1. Introduction
Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards
(OASIS) has developed the specification of Extensible Resource
Identifiers (XRIs). An XRI is a protocol element which 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.
Current version of XRI syntax specification [XRISyntax], Section
2.3.1, specifies how to map XRIs to IRI [RFC3987] and URI [RFC3986]
references. It prescribes that the scheme name to be used in such
IRIs and URIs is "xri". The purpose of this document is to formally
register the scheme with IANA in the corresponding registry under
'provisional' category.
Please note that there is no assurance that further versions of XRI
specifications (including the work-in-progress "XRI Syntax 3.0"
[XRISyntax3]) will continue to use 'xri' URIs; if its use gets
deprecated, the scheme will be moved to 'historical' to reflect this.
1.1. Community Consensus
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 review,
which revealed wide consensus of the TC's members.
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: Provisional
URI scheme syntax: see Section 2.3.1 of [XRISyntax]
URI scheme semantics: XRIs and correspondingly 'xri' URIs are meant
to persistently identify the resource, as URNs [RFC2141]; see

[XRIResolution] for specification of one of the ways they can be
resolved
XRI scheme encoding considerations: see Section 2.1 and 2.3.1 of
[XRISyntax]
Protocols that use the scheme: there are no specific restrictions
on the range of applications and protocols which may use XRIs and
'xri' URIs
Security considerations: see Section 3 of RFC xxxx

3. Security Considerations
Security considerations for XRIs are discussed in Section 3 of
[XRISyntax].
4. IANA Considerations
IANA is asked to register the 'xri' URI scheme using the template of
Section 2.
