Procedural Memory Knowledge Representation Community Group launched

With your support, the Procedural Memory Knowledge Representation Community Group has been launched:
  https://www.w3.org/community/pm-kr/

This group was originally proposed on 2026-02-20 by Daniel Ramos.
The following people supported its creation:
  Adam Sobieski

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

--------------------
Current knowledge representation systems suffer from massive duplication and fragmentation: the same knowledge (e.g., a Unicode character, mathematical symbol, or spatial concept) is duplicated across fonts, embeddings, accessibility metadata, and visual renderings. Redundant representations can create maintenance, performance, security, and licensing issues.

The PM-KR Community Group will develop a knowledge representation paradigm where knowledge is stored once as executable procedures (like font programs or mathematical formula definitions) and referenced via symlink-style composition, enabling both humans and AI systems to consume the same procedural source.

The group will study data models, execution semantics, conformance levels, and relationships with other W3C technologies (e.g., RDF, OWL, JSON-LD).

**Note**: This group is motivated by prior work on Knowledge3D, and that work may inform the group's discussions. That work does not constrain the group's discussions, nor will it be a deliverable of this group.
