permissive commons

Hi All,

it's been a while.

I've been fairly busy, and have had some encouragement to get involved
again a little.

In any case,

There's a desire to put ontologies and other 'commons' or 'open data' on
ledgers; imho, lots of topic based ones. did a little on it a while back
when trying to catalogue SemWeb resources & help with SchemaGen; but not
alot since.  DID work is rapidly evolving, but most use-cases appear to be
about 'identity credentials' rather than commons, which was amongst the
more important use-cases from my point of view.  IMHO there's a bunch of
qualities required to retain 'freedom of thought' and as is related, human
rights stuff.

re: RWW/Solid ecosystems - What (if any) work is happening in that area of
ensuring locally consumable 'commons' resources via DLTs?

It seemed like the LDDL[1] stuff showed alot of promise, but atm i'm not
sure what tooling to use.

noting the importance of tiered rww (or solid) servers in an ecosystem; and
that some of these environments (like virtuoso server installs) have a
capacity to do alot more than could be done on a home-server appliance or
IoT device (or multitude of them).

therein another part of the consideration being that the way AI is made to
work; could be processed locally, rather than via a 3rd party API operated
by a global giant 'cyber nation' operator, that's not operated as a
liberalised democracy or in many cases, in a manner that is supportive of
them.

Therein also - Certainly need to make sure RWW/Solid Apps are 'safe' - yet
IMHO trusted credentials from a trusted provider would be a far better
alternative than having centralised app stores and global cyber-nations.
This in-turn also has private and/or culturally related examples, such as
Gov & Education

As such, the DLT infrastructure is fairly important and i haven't seen much
going on about it, for commons.

timo.
