Re: [aksw-core] Charter for W3C Community Group Natural Language Interfaces for the Web of Data

Dear all, 

thanks for the online as well as offline discussion. So far, we identified some common points for deliverables of this group:

* At least one common format for benchmarks
* At least one test suite for extensive benchmarking of components, e.g., like [2]

We also identified discussions pertaining to:
* How and how often to communicate

@Edgard: I think we will focus on protocols like [1]

Furthermore, if you want to edit the charter [3], let me know your github user name. 

Best regards
Ricardo
