Social Web Working Group Charter

Hello everybody,

Luckily, this future working group was brought to my attention. I'm the
chair of the Hydra Community Group [1-2] and one of the core-designers of
JSON-LD [3-4]. After having read the proposed charter, I think there's quite
a bit of overlap with what we are trying to do with Hydra, namely to enable
the creation of powerful, interoperable Web APIs based on Linked Data
principles. Due to my work on JSON-LD I, personally, might also be able to
help with the development of a "transfer syntax for social data", especially
considering that ActivityStreams 2.0 is *more or less* based on JSON-LD.

I don't really have any concrete questions or proposals yet. I basically
just wanted to bring Hydra to your attention and let you know that I'm
willing to help. Of course, I would also like to find out whether Hydra is
of interest for this group.


Thanks,
Markus
