Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
[This announcement will be forwarded to W3C group chairs]

The Director is pleased to announce the recharter of the Dataset 
Exchange Working Group.
https://www.w3.org/2022/06/dx-wg-charter.html

The group is chartered through 30 June 2024.

The mission of the Dataset Exchange Working Group is to:

  * Maintain and revise the Data Catalog Vocabulary, DCAT, taking into 
account feature requests from the DCAT user community.
  * Define and publish guidance on the specification and use of 
application profiles when requesting and serving data on the Web.

Please use the following form to have your organization join or re-join 
the group. The form will also instruct you how to nominate participants:
https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/dx/join

Please consider diversity when proposing people to participate in W3C 
groups. Representation from a wider group of people, especially people 
from under-represented groups, is vital for creating web standards that 
meet the needs of the wider web community.

If your organization is currently in the group, please note that you 
will need to have it re-join the group as the new charter changes to the 
2020 Patent Policy. This Call for Participation triggers the start of 
the 45 days grace period to re-join. See:
https://www.w3.org/2003/12/22-pp-faq.html#recharter

The group chairs are Peter Winstanley (Invited Expert) and Caroline 
Burle (Invited Expert). The Team Contact is Pierre-Antoine Champin (15% 
FTE).

More information about the group can be found on the group home page:
