DHS/S&T/SVIP Supports the W3C RCH WG

[aniltj]

DHS S&T has been funding, championing, refining and utilizing the W3C Verifiable Credentials and W3C Decentralized Identifiers from the beginning to ensure a Competitive, Interoperable Marketplace of Solution Providers that can support a global scale architecture that enables individuals and organizations to have agency, consent and control over their data.

For the problem sets that are being addressed by DHS/SVIP and DHS Operational Components, open standards based multi-party and multi-platform interoperability of both (1) Digital Personal Credentials (DHS/USCIS & DHS/PRIV) and (2) Digital Trade Credentials (DHS/CPB) require the use of Linked Data (JSON-LD) with Linked Data Signatures including LD Signatures that support Selective Disclosure (BBS+ Signatures).

For these reasons, DHS/S&T/SVIP is supportive of the LDS WG charter:

Thanks @aniltj

Dear @aniltj,
the proposed charter has been substantially changed since you submitted your expression of support. More specifically, its scoped has been narrowed down, to address some concerns raised in the Semantic Web community. See also Ivan Herman's explanation of those changes on the SebWeb mailing list.

We kindly ask you to review the new version, and either

• renew your expression of interest (by a simple reply to this thread), or
• to close this issue if you do not wish to renew it.

Thanks in advance

up?

DHS/S&T/SVIP continues to support, even with the changed charter, as this work is foundational to the continuing work on data integrity.
