Questions about the layer of "trust" and URI

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I'm the student of Technical University of Budapest, my speciality is
electronic signature and Public Key Infrastructures. Now I've been
involved in a project in connection with semantic web (especially the
layer of "trust" and XML signature).

I've found the expression of "web of trust" in many documents, but it
would seem - if I understand well - that it needs a direct contact
between entities and is based on personal acquaintance (such as at
Pretty Good Privacy - PGP), so it's good for mailing with friends,
but not in a "trusted" worldwide usage. And on the other hand there
is the model of Trusted Third Party (such as PKIs including CAs and
RAs) where the main goal is for entities to be able to communicate in
a "trusted" way worldwidely.

My question: Will "web of trust" be based on Trusted Third Party
model (PKI technology)?

My other problem is the question of URI. In XML environment we
identify objects by Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) but in the
world of ASN.1 (ITU and ISO) in a long-standing system we use Object
Identifiers (OIDs) based on ITU-T X.690 and ITU-T X.660
recommendations. So, now we use two identifiers to the same object.
In the standard of XML signature (ETSI TS 101 903 - XAdES) I've
noticed that this problem was solved by a new type of value:
"OIDasURI" (and OID is used as the identifier). In the world of PKIs
OIDs are used to identify objects (such as documents like CPS and
CP)...

My question: Will there be a translation between OIDs and URIs? Which
will be preferred?

Thanks for your answers!
