Re: Moving Forward with Agentic Linked Data

Sindhu Raju wrote "My understanding of SOLID. it meant for individual data"

I strongly disagree with this statement.  There are numerous use cases and
actual applications aimed at organizations and enterprises. Who do you
think are Inrupt's customers?  The construction industry clients on Trinpod
are not individuals.  I can name a dozen different Solid apps aimed at
homeless service case workers, community health clinics, tracking
sustainability information and other types of data that goes far beyond the
individual.  INRIA has a major project aimed at small farm inventory.
 SOLID is for both individuals and organizations,
