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

W3C is pleased to announce the recharter of the RDF & SPARQL Working 
Group (formerly RDF-star Working Group).
https://www.w3.org/2025/04/rdf-star-wg-charter.html

The group is chartered through 30 April 2027.

The mission of the RDF & SPARQL Working Group is to update and maintain 
the set of RDF and SPARQL related recommendations, extending them with 
the ability to concisely represent and query statements about 
statements. It will continue the work initiated in the previous charter 
on the set of RDF 1.2 and SPARQL 1.2 specifications.

Please use the following form to have your organization 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.

Current participants are not required to rejoin this group because the 
charter includes no new deliverables that require W3C Patent Policy 
licensing commitments.

The group chairs are Adrian Gschwend (Zazuko) and Ora Lassila (Amazon). 
The Team Contact is Pierre-Antoine Champin, <pierre-antoine@w3.org>, for 
a total of 0.1 FTE.

More information about the group can be found on the group home page:
https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/rdf-star/
