Proposed Group: Dataspaces Community Group
The Dataspaces Community Group has been proposed by Pieter Colpaert:
Dataspaces gather requirements for seamless and trusted data exchange within specific domains and translate the requirements into technical specifications.
The W3C already recommends standards for trust, interoperability, and data value. Our goal in this working group is to collect scenarios from the dataspaces built by our members and manage best practices for implementing them with W3C specifications. Where those standards are not sufficient, we envision formulating questions to other community and working groups, and providing dataspace-specific normative text for specific scenarios. The Dataspaces Community Group aims to meet every year at the ESWC conference.
You are invited to support the creation of this group. Once the group has a total of five supporters, it will be launched and people can join to begin work. In order to support the group, you will need a W3C account.
Once launched, the group will no longer be listed as “proposed”; it will be in the list of current groups.
If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on site-comments@w3.org
Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
Dataspaces and their infrastructure are becoming the defacto technology for data exchange in Europe and world wide. They are build on top of web technologies, but new requirements call for new standards. I believe W3C has an important role to play to meet these requirements, and this community group can be an important catalyst and focal point.
