Read Write Web — Q3 Summary — 2017 [via Read Write Web Community Group]

Summary
A relatively quiet quarter in the community group, however, some good progress
has been made behind the scenes.

There was a new release, this quarter, to schema.org.  The Shapes Constraint
Language (SHACL) is now a W3C Recommendation and ActivityPub is also a candidate
recommendation.

There was light discussion on the mailing list, however, there was also a major
release of node solid server (4.0.0) which includes a new authentication method,
WebID-OIDC.

 


Communications and Outreach
There was some outreach the folks at the Rebooting the Web of Trust workshop,
and I'll also be talking to the team from Remote Storage, about reusing JSON-LD
as part of their model for reading and writing to the web with HTTP verbs.

 

Community Group
A quiet quarter in the Community Group tho Sebastian Samaruga has been
investigating the idea of Semantic Business intelligence and has started a blog
and codebase on the subject.  There was also testing of the new version of node
solid server with some success.

 


Applications
As mentioned above node solid server 4.0.0 now has WebID-OIDC support, N3
patches and many other features.

A new version of solid auth client was released in which will allow login via
both TLS and OIDC.

It is possible to try out the latest version on the solid test server.  Which
will lead the user to a default set of apps, and a data browser which both read
and write data, and has quite a few built in apps which are fired off depending
on the (rdf) type of data being viewed.

 


Last but not Least...
Virtuoso 8.0 was also released, with
ABAC (Attribute-based Access Controls) and the WebID+TLS+Delegation Protocol,
existing open standards (such as TLS, HTTPS, URIs, and RDF) are leveraged to aid
the development and deployment of new and more-agile services and solutions
