==XRI Syntax==

==XRI Syntax==

The OASIS XRI Technical Committee explained that just like the generic URI, the XRI syntax, it has four optional components with the scheme name xri: For example: xri: authority  / path  ? query  # fragment. The HTTP URIs which uses the generic URI syntax can be changed to a valid XRI by simply changing an http URI to XRI just like this, '''xri://www.example.com/pages/index.html''' (standard HTTP URI converted to XRI).<ref>

The XRI Syntax was developed based on RFC 3986 Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs)], which provides a simple and extensible way for identifying a resource and RFC 3987  IRIs (Internationalized Resource Identifiers), a protocol with a sequence of characters from the Unicode/ISO 10646. XRI is capable of including characters beyond what is used by the generic [[URI]] and incorporates the simplification and enhancements of the URI syntax. <ref>[http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/5109/xri-syntax-resolution-1.0-cd.pdf Extensible Resource Identifier (XRI) Generic Syntax and Resolution Specification, Committee Draft, January 12, 2004]</ref>  The OASIS XRI Technical Committee explained that just like the generic URI, the XRI syntax, it has four optional components with the scheme name xri: For example: xri: authority  / path  ? query  # fragment.

==OASIS XRI Technical Committee==

The OASIS XRI technical Committee was created for the purpose of defining the XRI an identifier that is attuned or compatible with the URI protocol and able to meet the functionality requirements of the [[URN]]s (Uniform Resource Names. The technical committee accomplished and developed the following:<ref>[http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/xri/charter.php OASIS Extensible Resource Identifier TC]</ref>
