Le charter pour la création d’un groupe de travail (WG) pour le standardisation de SOLID par le W3C a été officiellement déposé le 10 mai 2023. Ce WG permettra au projet SOLID de soumettre une proposition de recommandation au W3C.
Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
This is an advance notice that the W3C Team and Solid Community Group [1] participants are currently working on a charter for the Solid Working Group, with a primary mission to standardize the Solid Protocol and its use of associated data interoperability and authentication schemes. This effort will culminate in open standards that can be used by developers of servers and applications to continue to build a rich ecosystem that returns control of data back to users.
The Solid Community Group has been incubating Technical Reports [2] since 2018 towards that end: to describe the interoperability between different classes of products by using Web communication protocols, global identifiers, authentication and authorization mechanisms, data formats and shapes, notifications, and query interfaces. The wider Solid community has developed a suite of implementations, tools, and libraries [3] for developers, as well as applications for users [4].
The draft charter under development is at: PROPOSED Solid Working Group Charter
We welcome your feedback. If you wish to make your comments public, please use GitHub issues: Issues · solid/solid-wg-charter · GitHub
W3C Members may also discuss on the member-confidential mailing list <w3c-ac-forum@w3.org> [5]. We also welcome your general expressions of interest and support on that mailing list.
Per the current W3C process [6], the final decision to create the group rests with the Director Tim Berners-Lee, who may delegate this decision to other individuals in the team (and has been doing so in many occasions in the past). Being also affiliated with Inrupt [7], a member company with a strong interest in Solid, and in order to avoid any conflict of interest, Tim Berners-Lee has agreed to preemptively and entirely delegate the decisions regarding this charter proposal.
If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Pierre-Antoine Champin at <pierre-antoine@w3.org>.
This announcement follows section 4.1 of the W3C Process Document: W3C Process Document

For Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director,
