Topic GitHub tags (and similar)

Hi all,

I went to a local conference about IoT[1][2] and fielded the expo
participants to identify who knew anything about RDF (and thereafter also,
WoT works).  One of the older watson (ibm) persons, alongside a lady i very
much enjoyed meeting who formerly worked for W3C  (in AU) were the only
ones who were aware of RDF.

Whilst i am advocating for a particular form of 'philosphical engineering'
more broadly[3] (as it relates to a form or field of implementation
method); the challenge brought about is how to ensure in my follow-up
briefing activities, with numerous interested parties, how is it that i can
show;

a. the way vast economic benefits exist by employing a means to build app
interfaces, using RDF related standards
b. the repos that exist to support the suggestion - that a bunch of work
already exists as to support any consideration made, that it may be
worthwhile others seeking to do some R&D and figure out how to get involved.

In GitHub, there are 'topics', and the means to search the entire
environment for projects that have those 'topics' included in the repo.
One is 'wot'[4], although i note, there are a few different ways this term
is used.

notwithstanding my suggestion that perhaps the chair best identify a term
best suited - perhaps something like w3c-wot or some such thing that works
for everyone?

My hope was, that we might be able to improve discovery of good work as to
support the engagement of others.

related also - is consideration about whether the HbbTV specifications (and
if so, what versions[5]) are in-effect, WoT compatible?  It appears the
HbbTV specs include TLS support, and i'm not officially sure - it's
compatible with WebID-TLS and that moreover; RDF semantics, with app stacks
such as is demonstrated by MPAT[6].

I am hopeful, considerations with respect to these two fields of enquiry
will help engender more participants, in this important field of work.  it
seemed to me, that the broader 'semantic web' ecosystem, provides
exceptional opportunities for IoT MFGs and related emergent eco-system
participants.   Any supporting material that may be available to assist
with private implementation methods in particular (meaning, not API based
as to result in a product, becoming service bound to a specified provider)
i am also very interested in being able to reference, in documents produced
as i make best attempts to help others with their means to perform an
'opportunity evaluation'.

Finally - i note: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QTAtFaIiyc - which i
found enlightening.

Kind Regards,

Timothy Holborn.
