There’s been enough progress on getting linked data into and out of PDF files to work on some guidelines.
        
        If you’re interested, please join, and encourage those interested in the topic to join too:

            With your support, the PDF and Open Data Community Group has been launched:
              http://www.w3.org/community/pdf-open-data/

            
            This group was originally proposed on 2016-07-17
            by Larry Masinter. The following people supported its
            creation: 
                  Larry Masinter
                  Rohan Thacker
                  Herb Jellinek
                  Mike Perlman
                  Abe Jellinek
                  Leonard Rosenthol
              
            To join the group, please use:
             http://www.w3.org/community/pdf-open-data/join

            
            Please note that supporting a group is different from joining
            a group. Supporters must also enroll if they wish to participate.
            
            --------------------
            PDF has a reputation of being bad for 'open data', but there are already
            features of PDF that can be used for storing and retrieving data
            associated with parts of a PDF file, and more features coming.
            
            
            A draft charter will be posted soon.
