Re: Planning to close the RDF Surfaces Community Group

Hi Ian and David,

The work is by far not done, there is an initial spec [1],
4 independent implementations [4] and a SWJ Journal paper
in the works [3] but this is just scratching the surfaces :-)

So let us continue and I believe this is also what Pat Hayes
who is the originator of RDF Surfaces [4], would want.

Kind regards,
Jos
