Federated Commerce & Trading

Hey all,

After a lot of time spent putting practical web apps together for e-commerce projects whilst working on SOLID implementations I’ve found a lot of common ground with the use of Web ID, JSON-LD, RDF, etc., and separation of data stores.

I’ve gone too far down this rabbit hole on my own and realized I’m not the only one, so I’ve proposed a complementary CG for exploring those opportunities in commerce and trading apps.

For anyone interested in that same space here’s the link.

There should be a significant amount of commonality to make it worthwhile to keep both streams aligned conceptually, with enough domain specific ideas and needs to keep them as separate streams.

If you’ve got comments or questions then please post them on the CG proposal page for transparency to the larger community.

Regards,

P.
