We want to re-use as much W3C, IETF, X9, ISO, etc. technology as we can for the Web Payments work. I thought it might be helpful to point folks at a few primers wrt. W3C technologies that may become foundational for the work we're doing here. At some point we'll have to outline a basic data format for the payment initiation and digital receipt messages. We'll probably want that message format to be extensible. One such W3C initiative that fits the bill quite nicely is Linked Data: What is Linked Data? (video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4x_xzT5eF5Q A specific mechanism for expressing Linked Data that would be friendly to Web developers would be JSON-LD: What is JSON-LD? (video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vioCbTo3C-4 I've been personally involved in the Linked Data initiative since 2007, and the JSON-LD initiative since its inception. While we are many months away from talking about technology specifics, my hope is that this group will try to understand some of the fundamental things that are different (in a very good way) about the way W3C approaches the creation of technology standards wrt. other payment/financial technology standards setting organizations. I think the way we approach representing data is one of those key differences. -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny, G+: +Manu Sporny) Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: High-Stakes Credentials and Web Login http://manu.sporny.org/2014/identity-credentials/
