Re: Proposed W3C Charter: RDF Dataset Canonicalization and Hash Working Group

Thank you Manu,

I would like to echo the call to support this work.
Please vote on the charter if you are a W3C Member!

This WG will address a critical piece in DID+VC based architectures that 
many of us already take for granted, but that hasn't actually been 
standardized yet.

The RDF Canonicalization and Hash work is important for creating proofs 
of integrity added to VCs and potentially other data.
