Re: Web Civics, Webizen, Schema.org & StratML

Owen,

If you haven't already - join-up here;
https://www.w3.org/community/schema-gen/

I think your plan seeks to 'update' StratML (as referenced below - Kingsley
also, fyi.) which whilst offering opportunities for schemaorg is likely
independent (with the ability to assist with sameAs references where
required).  Therein.  The Schema-gen group is designed to provide support
for these sorts of projects.

Agreed. Yet part of performance is ACLs and structured data that's
effectively able to be managed, et.al. which loops back to values (but more
coordinated values rather than those solely 'controllable' by a single
'actor' (moreover singular human).

I was involved with the webizen thing.  note also: http://webizen.org/ (FOAF
based)

IMHO StratML needs to be serialised as RDF.  I haven't had time to really
dig into the labour cost / implications of doing this.

Kingsley,

I'm a little time poor at the moment, and moreover you're the expert.
What's required to update StratML to RDF serialization (likely inclusive to
some sort of interop capability for pre-existing frameworks and web-data?

Yes.  However i'm fairly sure RDF serialisation is required.

IMHO: we've got a couple of big issues which impact StratML alongside other
issues / programs of work. see also:

alongside the tools i've identified:
