shapes, forms, and footprints for building Linked Data apps

Dear all,

The Solid ecosystem (https://solid.inrupt.com/)
is a way of building decentralized Linked Data apps,
where people store their data in their own data pod
and can interact with it using different apps.

To realize this kind of interoperability,
we will likely heavily rely on shapes,
extended with forms (UIs for people)
and footprints (rules on where to store data).

We’ve written down some of our thinking
in a Design Issue (status: draft) at
https://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Footprints.html
and I have written the longer story,
including thoughts about future use cases, at
https://ruben.verborgh.org/blog/2019/06/17/shaping-linked-data-apps/

Your feedback as shape experts is very welcome.
I’m particularly interested in related technologies and use cases
that we might have missed when writing this down.

Best,

Ruben
