Call for Participation in Dataspaces Community Group

The Dataspaces Community Group has been launched:

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 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.

In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account. Please note, however, that W3C Membership is not required to join a Community Group.

This is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2024-05-27 by Pieter Colpaert. The following people supported its creation:

Pieter Colpaert, Edward Curry, Dr. Sulayman K Sowe, Masashi Kutsuna, Stefan Decker, Johannes Theissen-Lipp. W3C’s hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities.

The group must now choose a chair. Read more about how to get started in a new group and good practice for running a group.

We invite you to share news of this new group in social media and other channels.

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please email us at [email protected]

Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
