We want to make sure the work doesn't happen in a Verifiable Credentials / JSON-LD echo chamber... especially given that the technology is broadly applicable. > 2) if pursuing the idea that this is w3c’s approach to signing RDF in > general, stick a less complicated rdf syntax as the central focus. I'd rather do the thing you proposed a few emails back and restrict the scope by saying "any external reference you're working with is under your control in some way" and "modest RDF Dataset sizes". To pluck an arbitrary number out of the air, in general, signing RDF Datasets that are roughly 500 quads in size or less. > The bnode labelling work items could be really handy in lots of rdf > situations- without even needing signatures Yes, that's true... but doesn't really help the Verifiable Credentials community out much. > Why not just call it a VC thing and be done?
