AX attributes discovery and AXSchema.org

[Chris Obdam]

> It would be great if AX had a way for OPs to advertise what attributes were available via Discovery. I ran into Luke Shepard on the Caltrain a couple weeks ago and he suggested the schema and aliases to shrink the excessively long urls. Hopefully we can get this into AX 1.1.
Yes I agree. Discovery would be great.

Making axschema part of ax 1.1 would be a great solution too. People need some clearity on the attribute types.
Attr type url could be made short, something like open.id/FirstName.

In Holland we are hooking up a lot of web stores. They are in need of (Valid) attribute data. Like address data for example.
Lots of idp's fail short in providing information via AX. At Google i have provided much info to Google then that I can access via AX!
The same for Yahoo, hope that will change because it is an import part of the portable identities strategy for me.

I'll start a new thread for Allen Tom to react.. :-)
