formation of SHACL Community Group

Greetings --

With the expiration of our charter [1], the Data Shapes Working 
Group [2] has come to an end.

We anticipate that the SHACL Proposed Recommendation will advance 
to full W3 Recommendation in the near future.

If your organization's Advisory Committee representative (AC Rep) 
has not yet weighed-in on that transition poll [3], please encourage 
them to do so!




Recognizing that various work remains, WG members have started 
the process of creating of a new SHACL Community Group for such 
pursuits --

> The mission of the SHACL Community Group is to continue the
> development of SHACL-related specifications and to support
> the further adoption of SHACL after the W3C Data Shapes Working 
> Group has ended. Desirable outcomes include the development of
> educational material (primers, best practices), the application
> of SHACL to frequently used RDF vocabularies, libraries of 
> constraint components for common constraint types, improved
> integration with established technologies such as JavaScript,
> further work on theory and practice around SHACL rules,
> a compact SHACL syntax, and a SHACL internet protocol.
> Additional work may go into delivering "de-facto standard"
> fixes to some gaps left in the current SHACL specifications
> (e.g., handling recursion, and addressing more comprehensive
> syntax checks).


You can immediately express your support for the proposed CG [4], 
or wait for full creation [5].

Many thanks to all who have participated in the process to date!

Ted
