Strategy: Innovating Together & Timeline

A note on how the W3C Context Graph Community Group works — because
transparency upfront saves everyone time.

What we are: An open, volunteer innovation group under W3C standards. A
community group can be started by anyone and is a protected space
specifically designed to NOT require adhering to existing standards —
allowing us to question anything and innovate freely.

This group is focused on building a protocol for creating a graph of
context at system boundaries. Your ideas. We mentor. Total creative freedom
— but everything must be demonstrable and use the protocol.

Why: You need a shared understanding of what "Context" is and how it is
measured — in bits. So instead of a vague word, it has specificity. It's
learnable and engineerable. The same thing happened when Shannon defined
"Information" using uncertainty as its root.

If you want to explain the difference between a Knowledge Graph that
handles "Context" and a general, scale-free approach to measuring "Context"
outside of any one vendor's implementation — this is your group. If you
prefer an ontology approach and are open to a new perspective — this is
also your group. If neither fits, the best way I can support you is to help
you find the right one.

What we aren't: A stage for individual pitches. A consensus-driven
committee. A place to relitigate the fundamentals.

How we collaborate:
Q1: Learn the protocol fundamentals together
Q2: Form innovation pairs and groups
Q3+: Build and demo — for each other and the world

The only technical requirement: your work must pass the validator. If it
does, it combines with everyone else's. That's the guarantee.

Is the math all figured out? No. Is my Decision Intelligence approach
complete? No. I'm not imposing anything on any field or anyone — only a
test: when you add information to your context graph, we have a standard
definition and measurement. That's what guarantees everyone's work is
combinable with yours. That's a specification worth building.

I want to connect you all with the information, people, etc., you need for
YOUR ideas to succeed. But it only works, if we can agree to a few
principles. If it's worth your time to learn them, this is the right group.
If not, you and the people around you will not be using your time
effectively. That is what my goal is to protect: each other's right to
innovate, learn, and succeed.
