SemanticClarity/John Walker supports the W3C RCH WG

[jtwalker2000]

SemanticClarity would like to add its voice to supporting the creation of the W3C Linked Data Signatures Working Group.

Given Linked Data Signature adoption among governments around the world (for use in W3C Verifiable Credentials and W3C Decentralized Identifiers), as well as private industry (deployments to 152,000+ retail stores across the US)... and use in privacy-protecting digital signatures (BBS+) and other selective disclosure schemes... we think it's high time we cut an official standard that governments can use to move toward a more privacy-preserving future for their citizens.

The reasons above are in addition to all of the benefits that will be gained by verifiable data publishers -- there is a deep requirement to know where data came from on the Web today, misinformation is rampant, and this WG will standardize technologies that could be used to combat misinformation and gain trust in our Web-based data sources again.

For these reasons (and others), SemanticClarity is supportive of the LDS WG charter:

Dear @jtwalker2000,
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

Dear 'Notifications' I have reviewed the revised charter and I have continued interest in the progress of the W3C LDS WG. Please continue to include me in all relevant WG communications. thx -jw-

For the sake of clarity, editing the title to match the new name of the WG...

@jtwalker2000 why closing the issue? Do you intend to retract your expression of support?

[jtwalker2000]

No - my mistake, I thought my 'agreement' was complete ... my interest and support continues. Please re-open if that is appropriate. thx -jw-
