[w3ctag/design-reviews] [wg/rml] RML Working Group (Issue #1283)

w3cbot created an issue (w3ctag/design-reviews#1283)

This issue was created because the 'horizontal review requested' label was added to
§ https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues/443

This review is requested prior to the [Advisory Committee Review](https://www.w3.org/guide/process/charter.html#ac-review).

New charter proposal, reviewers please take note.

Horizontal Reviews: apply the Github label "Horizontal review requested" to request reviews for accessibility (a11y), internationalization (i18n), privacy, security, and TAG. **Also add a "card" for this issue to the [Strategy Funnel](https://github.com/orgs/w3c/projects/97/views/2).**

## Anything else we should think about as we review? 

I was contacted by the chairs of the [Knowledge Graph Construction CG](https://www.w3.org/community/kg-construct/), who would like to create a Working Group. The WG is producing a set of specification around RML (RDF Mapping Language), which can be seen as a generalization and an extension of [R2RML](https://www.w3.org/TR/r2rml/). In particular, while R2RML works only on relational data, RML can map many other kinds of data to RDF.

RML specs and tools are largely developed in Academia, but is used in many contexts, including in the industry and governmental agencies. A [Dagstulh seminar](https://www.dagstuhl.de/24061) in February, co-organized by the CG chairs, on a related topic, should be the occasion of identifying more interested stakeholders and gauge their interest
