Re: Planning to close the RDF Surfaces Community Group

Hi all,

I asked some questions in the original email and it would be great to get a better understanding of (1) where current work is happening and (2) whether there are any standardization plans.

Thanks for the links you’ve provided. A few notes:

1) RDF Surfaces Primer. This does not appear to be a deliverable of the CG (given the front matter). Is it intended to be a CG deliverable? (Also, it does not appear
    to be a Specification, so I don’t have IPR questions for you.)

2) RDF Surfaces tests. Should we link to that repo from the CG home page? That would help our tools detect activity.

Thank you,


Ian
