Thank you Snorre, Wayne, and David for your replies. Along the way I also discovered “Formal Modelling and Application of Graph Transformations in the Resource Description Framework” by Benjamin Braatz due to Ryan Wisenesky which is different but may share some elements of what Wayne shared? This treatment is quite complete, but I must admit I frequently find myself distracted. (recently I discovered bls_381 for FPGAs —good stuff). Hence, a more concrete review is in store for me. The book, “Real World Cryptography” by David Wong has section 7.3.3. for the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm. I figure that once I understand the math and how it relates to group theory ( which may or may not be able to be generalized for all signature types?) and how this relates to the definition of a category I can then generalize to a signature of a payload and then consider Braatz’s work for consideration of RDF and json schema… https://dashjoin.medium.com/json-schema-schema-org-json-ld-whats-the-difference-e30d7315686a -Brent On Friday, September 9, 2022, Snorre Lothar von Gohren Edwin < snorre@diwala.io> wrote: > Go for it! :D Also remember, sharing helps the process more than sitting > in a cave doing it all by oneself. > But if we can more quickly agree on if something is a match when > exchanging and connecting agents, as Wayne talks about, I think we can > increase the possibility for interoperability. > ᐧ > > On Fri, Sep 9, 2022 at 2:20 AM Wayne Chang <wayne@spruceid.com> wrote: > >> I think category theory has a lot to offer when welded with knowledge >> graphs like those expressed in RDF.
