Hi all,

Forgive my failure to attend in the previous call. Is there a time slot set out for the next meeting?

 

Also regarding authorisation and delegation: indeed I would say that's no less difficult (if not more difficult) than authentication. There will be the perception of the user / owner, and also the autonomous interaction of agents; in addition, there will be disappearing of agents. I would have a lot to argue in this area, given my background in data usage control...

Re: point 2) – OIDC already has a lot of work in that area, and a gap is acknowledged:

There is also the topic of authorisation and delegation (OIDC’s answer to my question in January – “Some of what you need to do hasn't been invented yet.”)

 

Of possible interest (thanks to spotter: Michiel!):

Hi all,

There’s been some interest around the idea of Agentic Linked Data — think of it as Social Linked Data, but with a focus on Agents:

📄 https://hackmd.io/@jSWt69rrQAKeUTsa_s49Qg/H16RCGRv1g

After chatting with Tim and the chairs, they kindly suggested we could explore the topic in a Special Topic Meeting. Unlike a regular CG call (where we might get ~10 minutes), this would give us a full hour or more to dig in.

We’re probably a little early to set a date just yet — but I’d love to start gathering topics for the agenda. Elf suggested 4–6, so here are two to kick things off:
🔹 Special Topic Suggestions
How Agents can interact with the Solid ecosystem
Tim noted that every Agent should have an owner. There are also a few real examples of Agents in Solid we can build from.
Authentication of Agents
Jesse raised Agent Auth as a key point — it’s come up a lot in discussions and deserves focused time.
What other topics would you like to explore on a call like this?
Feel free to share ideas, and we’ll shape the agenda around them. And if we don’t get to everything, we can always figure it out live on the call.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts or any links you would like to share!

Best,
Melvin
