This would probably best be suited for a teleconference where we can prioritize. Personally, I'm interested in resuming work on RDF Interfaces, which is certainly under the scope of this CG if nothing else. We would continue the WebIDL definition, targeting ECMAScript, but remain platform-neutral, the same way how DOM has implementations in Java, PHP, etc. Some sort of asynchronous interface would be nice, too, especially if combined with a higher-level query interface for remote servers (like SPARQL servers). I also defined an "IndexedGraph" idea (think IndexedDB), see <https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdfjs/2013Oct/0040.html>. Specifications should be accompanied by test cases. There's now an RDF Tests Community Group, and a repository at <https://github.com/w3c/rdf-tests>. I imagine we would define many of our own tests, and also pull tests from wherever it's appropriate. I've implemented RDF Interfaces at <https://www.npmjs.com/package/rdf> and also a library for IRI parsing and manipulation, < https://www.npmjs.com/package/iri>. They're in need of modernizing, though. I'm also working on JSON Schema at the moment, which is all hypermedia. In one of my applications, I parse JSON documents against their schema, extract link relations, and store it with the 'rdf' package. This is the sort of interoperability I'd like to advance. Austin.
