Our community group is already 5 years old! And it's far from asleep, so here's a round up of what has happened last year. On the side of clients, we became aware of several new clients: py-reconciliation-service-api, a Python library that supports version 0.2 of the protocol, and reconcile-cli, a command line interface written in Bash, also as a client. The Footlight Console and Footlight CMS also use our protocol as clients. OpenRefine 3.8 was published and included many improvements to its reconciliation support. New services appeared, such as for Museum.Digital and ARCHE (A Resource Centre for the HumanitiEs), and also a generic service to reconcile against any MediaWiki / Wikibase instance. There are surely more of them we are not aware of yet! Our work on the specifications for the next version continued, with conversations on GitHub driven by the monthly video calls. The changes to the specs are more modest this year, with only 28 commits, sign that we are perhaps stabilizing our current draft and converging towards something that could be published as a new version. Our plans for transitioning from this Community Group into a Working Group also got more concrete, thanks to helpful discussions with W3C staff. In short, becoming a Working Group would let us publish specifications as a Recommendation, which would give more official recognition to the protocol. So stay tuned for exciting developments in 2025! ---------- This post sent on Entity Reconciliation Community Group 'Reconciliation in 2024' https://www.w3.org/community/reconciliation/2025/01/03/reconciliation-in-2024/ Learn more about the Entity Reconciliation Community Group: https://www.w3.org/community/reconciliation
