XDI.ORG ISS WIKI

1. Welcome to the I-Services Specifications (ISS) Wiki

This is the home of the open public royalty-free specifications published by XDI.org for interoperable Internet identity services, called i-services. The i-services available for any XRI-identified resource (e.g., person, organization, application, document, etc.) can be discovered by resolving its XRI into an XRDS resolution document. For more information, see the XDI.org Global Services Specifications (GSS) available on the [http://gss.xdi.org XDI.org GSS wiki].

This wiki contains the authoritative specification for each i-service together with best practices, FAQs, and links to other resources helpful to i-brokers, network application developers, and end-users.
