Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
[This announcement will be forwarded to W3C group chairs]

The Director is pleased to announce the charter of the RDF-star Working 
Group:
https://www.w3.org/2022/08/rdf-star-wg-charter/

The group is chartered from 29 August 2022 to 28 August 2024.

The mission of the RDF-star Working Group is to extend the 
recommendations defining RDF 1.1 and SPARQL 1.1 with the features 
introduced by RDF-star. More precisely, RDF-star introduces the notion 
of quoted triple to express statements about statements. The abstract 
and concrete syntaxes of RDF and SPARQL are extended to support this new 
feature, as well as their respective semantics.  RDF-star has become 
quite popular, especially as a means to provide interoperability between 
RDF and Property Graphs, and has already been implemented to various 
extents by a number of vendors and open-source libraries:
https://w3c.github.io/rdf-star/implementations.html

Please use the following form to join the group. The form will also 
instruct you how to nominate participants:
https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/rdf-star/join

Please consider diversity when proposing people to participate in W3C 
groups. Representation from a wider group of people, especially people 
from under-represented groups, is vital for creating web standards that 
meet the needs of the wider web community.

The group chairs are Adrian Gschwend (Zazuko) and Ora Lassila (Amazon). 
The Team Contact is Pierre-Antoine Champin (15% FTE).

The group plans to have a meeting during TPAC 2022.

More information about the group can be found on the group home page:
