I had a look at your link, but I have hardly any W3C experience, so I'm struggling to understand what you'd like my thoughts on.

In terms of working within its scope, it's difficult to say. I'm leaning heavily towards working with a single form of JSON-LD (specifically the "expanded" form), and putting all of my effort towards that, rather than turtle or xml/rdf etc. Similarly, we're finding sticking to REST is really constraining.

The charter does mention JSON-LD, so hopefully they'll make something that developers who like JSON will understand and want to use.


Best,
Dan
