Fwd: SHACL Community Group Launched

For anyone interested in joining the SHACL Community Group - it is now 
launched and membership is open to everyone. Also note that while W3C 
membership is not required to join the community group, you will need to 
create a W3C account. The process is totally automatic and quick. Just 
use this link https://www.w3.org/accounts/request

For students and supervisors, the emerging SHACL ecosystem may be a 
great place to find new research topics. For developers, SHACL offers 
plenty of new project opportunities. All welcome to join the CG.

With your support, the SHACL Community Group has been launched:

   http://www.w3.org/community/shacl/

This group was originally proposed on 2017-05-31
by Ted Thibodeau. The following people supported its
creation:
       Ted Thibodeau
       Sandro Hawke
       Pano Maria
       Dimitris Kontokostas
       Simon Steyskal
       Irene Polikoff
       Nicky van Oorschot
       jack hodges
       Holger Knublauch
       Mohamed ZERGAOUI
       Tomislav Novak
       Jose Emilio Labra Gayo
       Peter Bruhn Andersen
   
To join the group, please use:

Please note that supporting a group is different from joining
a group. Supporters must also enroll if they wish to participate.

--------------------
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).
