Semantic HTML-vocabulary Community Group Launched

With your support, the Semantic HTML-vocabulary Community Group has been launched:
  http://www.w3.org/community/htmlvoc/

This group was originally proposed on 2022-06-03
by Flores Bakker. The following people supported its
creation: 
      Flores Bakker
      Gregg Kellogg
      Paola Di Maio
      Wouter Beek
      Ruben Taelman
  
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 this community group is to establish a draft standard for
a RDF-based representation of the HTML-vocabulary. With the
HTML-vocabulary in RDF, any type of an HTML-document can be meaningfully
represented, generated and validated using nothing but standard semantic
technologies, without any vendor lock-in. In addition, full provenance
can be provided for a generated HTML-document, as every atom of the
document can be described and semantically enriched, ex ante (RDF) and
ex post (Rdfa). For instance, the originating algorithm that calculates
a certain budget amount in a governmental HTML-document can be linked to
the table cell containing the very value. HTML-documents have a wide
variety of use and so has the HTML vocabulary. The HTML-vocabulary can
be used to generate 100% correct HTML or xHTML and to validate this. The
HTML vocabulary can be used to model the front end of a website or
application, whereas the logic behind the front end can be captured in
SHACL Advanced Features, making for a full semantic representation and
execution of digital infrastructure, without any vendor lock-in. An
HTML-document can be generated with full compliance to laws and
regulations, as these norms can be linked and applied while using the
HTML-vocabulary. With full provenance, an HTML-document can battle fake
news and show realtime how certain sensitive data in the document
(privacy, security) was derived.

The community group will come up with a 0.1 draft specification. This
will be input for a future working group within W3C. The community group
can make use of the currently available draft specification as developed
by the Dutch Ministry of Finance in a working prototype for the Dutch
governmental budget cycle. By starting this community group, the Dutch
Ministry wants to contribute to an open source based digital
infrastructure.
