With your support, W3C has launched the Open Government Community Group
http://www.w3.org/community/opengov/
We invite you to join the group:
http://www.w3.org/community/opengov/join
This group was originally proposed on 2013-03-08
by James McKinney. The following people supported its
creation:
James McKinney
TH Schee
Robin Berjon
Ed Summers
Ross Jones
Mike O'Neill
Baptiste Fluzin
<hr />
This group's mission is to discuss and prepare data and API
specifications relating to open government information, which may
include:
* people, such as legislators
* organizations, such as legislatures or committees
* people's positions within organizations
* areas, such as electoral districts
* events, such as elections
* documents, such as bills or agendas
* speeches, such as those given by legislators in legislatures
* votes
The group will base its work on existing standards as much as possible,
and re-use existing terms (classes and properties) wherever
appropriate.
The group may define various serializations of the specifications,
including but not limited to RDF and JSON.
The group will seek consensus around, and support for, these
specifications which may then be brought to an appropriate Working Group
to advance a specification from draft to standard.
The group will coordinate as appropriate with the Web Schemas Task Force
of the Semantic Web Interest Group and other relevant groups within the
W3C.
