Re: prospective charter for a shapes validation WG

Dear all,

It is good to see progress on this front!

For information, Karen Coyle and myself are chairing a task group on "RDF Application Profiles" in the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative.
http://wiki.dublincore.org/index.php/RDF_Application_Profiles
(charter at http://wiki.dublincore.org/index.php/RDF_Application_Profiles/Charter )

While we consider the issue from a different angle as the coming W3C group, data validation is at the core of our concerns there.
We could provide use cases and requirements, and serve as 'consumers' of the technology the Data Shapes WG could develop.

We would be happy to see some official liaison work. Eric already presented ShEx to us a couple of months ago, so some efforts are already happening. It would be good to make sure this continues!

Best regards,

Antoine
