Digital or web slavery has been described by many. One example is: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01442872.2020.1724926 There's an absolute desire, by persons like me, to do work on #RealityCheckTech to serve humanity, as to ensure via fora like W3C to ensure royalty free "thoughtware". Yet different people get engaged with W3C or similar on different basis. Most are gainfully employed whilst doing the work, resulting in means to fund personal costs whilst balancing the desires of their sponsor or employer. Others are much older, and have already gained the funds needed for a dignified life. But the very few, of humanity, have engaged, at this emergent stage, on what is in essence Human rights cyber infrastructure without first demanding fees. Many have been living in poverty. How does RWW seek to make standards that at least associates effort or contribution, with outcomes? In the "identity matrix" it's not simply about an identifier but moreover also, biosphere and socio-economic aspects; some may sacrifice their ability to be a parent in their lives as a consequence of helping humanity? Even at this level, how is human dignity achieved ontologically via standards? Perhaps that's about human standards or human rights standards. Previous suggestions seem to imply its out of scope, and, my mind thinks about the implications for the WebID specs (or failings therein). I started work on ontologies for human rights semantics: https://github.com/webcivics/ontologies but intentionally made them bad, hoping it would be made "by the United nations", that hasn't happened. From taskify onwards ( in this community) I sought to build effort / causality (#RealityCheckTech) info-structures... But that's not happened either. How does RWW support international human rights principals that almost every country, almost every jurisdiction, is expected to support? Or is it, not? By design... If so, for how long... Who decided? Was that part of the webizen and related rww standards development issues? Fundamentally, building a rww framework for an Apache http server shouldn't be hard. Particularly not now (years later). I don't understand? Please advise? Timothy Holborn.
