'''Extensible Name Service''' ('''XNS''') is an open protocol for universal addressing and automated data exchange. It is an [[XML]]-based [[digital identity]] architecture.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The development of XML in 1998 led to the XNS project, and the establishment of an international non-profit governance organization, XNS Public Trust Organization (XNSORG), in early 2000. <br />
<br />
In 2002, the XNS specifications were contributed by XNSORG to [[OASIS (organization)|OASIS]], where they became part of the [[XRI]] (Extensible Resource Identifier) and [[XDI]] (XRI Data Interchange) Technical Committees. Together these two standards, XRI and XDI, form the basis for the formation of the [[Dataweb]].<br />
<br />
XNSORG has since evolved into XDI.ORG, and now offers community-based XRI/XDI infrastructure.<br />
