!!! Overview[1]
[{$pagename}] ([XRI]) is a scheme and resolution [protocol] for abstract [Unique Identifiers] compatible with [Uniform Resource Identifiers] and [Internationalized Resource Identifiers], developed by the [XRI Technical Committee] at [OASIS]. 

[{$pagename}] goal is a standard syntax and discovery format for abstract, structured identifiers that are domain-, location-, application-, and transport-independent, so they can be shared across any number of [domains], directories, and interaction [protocols].

[{$pagename}] 2.0 specifications were rejected by [OASIS], a failure attributed to the intervention of the [W3C] [W3C Technical Architecture Group] which recommended against using [XRIs] or taking the [XRI] specifications forward. The core of the dispute is whether the widely interoperable [HTTP] [URIs] are capable of fulfilling the role of abstract, structured identifiers, as the [W3C Technical Architecture Group] believes, but whose limitations the [XRI Technical Committee] was formed specifically to address.
