Re: Decentralized Fact-checking & Provenance Organization (DeFacto) Community Group launched

I defer to others to answer this question.  However, the initiatives considered by the CredWeb CG are documented in StratML format at https://stratml.us/drybridge/index.htm#CWCG
I look forward to:

a) rendering this group's plan in StratML format as well,b) using the stratml:Relationship elements to document and link its performance indicators to other efforts, andc) documenting any results the group may produce.

Whether I decide to participate in the group will depend upon the degree to which it decides to consider the revelvance of sharing performance metrics in an open, standard, machine-readable format.  In that regard, ChatGPT concludes:

... StratML embodies the principles of trust, transparency, scalability, and provenance—core values that resonate deeply with the group's vision statement. Publishing the DFCP’s strategic and performance documents in StratML format would not only align with but also actively support the realization of its vision and mission.

The details of ChatGPT's logic leading to that conclusion are available here.
Needless to say, I believe the purposes of all of the W3C's groups would be well served by publishing their performance plans and reports in open, standard, machine-readable format.

 How does this overlap with the Credible Web CG at https://www.w3.org/community/credibility/, which https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues/483 says is the likely place to investigate provenance questions?
