Proposed Charter: RDF Data Shapes Working Group (Call for Review)

W3C is creating a new working group to work on the validation of RDF 
data. "Shapes" is code language for this.

Since an initial draft of a charter, there has a been a lot of 
discussion of charter on the public W3C list:

   public-rdf-shapes@w3.org
   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-shapes/

and this has resulted in a proposed charter:

   http://www.w3.org/2014/data-shapes/charter

"""
Deliverables

An RDF vocabulary, such as Resource Shapes 2.0, for expressing these 
shapes in RDF triples, so they can be stored, queried, analyzed, and 
manipulated with normal RDF tools, with some extensibility mechanism for 
complex use cases.

Semantics, possibly defined as SPARQL operations, specifying how shapes 
are evaluated against RDF graphs.

OPTIONAL - Compact, human-readable, non-RDF syntax for expressing 
constraints on RDF graph patterns (aka shapes), suitable for the use 
cases determined by the group.
"""

If any committer wants to comment, the Apache Software Foundation can 
respond to the formal request for comments.  We would need to produce a 
single, consolidated, agreed response.

If any committer wants to participate, and does not work for an W3C 
member [*], Apache can nominate you to the working group.  (Note: you'll 
need to invest a significant amount of time to be effective and probably 
travel.  Apache does not provide any funding.)

	Andy
	W3C rep for ASF

[*] If you work for a W3C member, you should go via that route or the 
legal issues may get very messy.
