Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam supports the W3C RCH WG

[tkuhn]

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, a Dutch public research university, supports the planned W3C Working Group on Linked Data Signatures.

Within our User Centric Data Science group, we study the use of Linked Data in the form of nanopublications in the context of scientific data and scientific communication in general. We are also applying digital signatures and cryptographic hashes for making such nanopublications immutable and verifiable. Aligning this work with standards such as the ones proposed by this working group would strengthen this endeavor, ensure interoperability, and put it onto a more solid foundation.

We are also interested in actively contributing to this working group in the design as well as implementation stages.

Dear @tkuhn,
the proposed charter has been substantially changed since you submitted your expression of support. More specifically, its scoped has been narrowed down, to address some concerns raised in the Semantic Web community. See also Ivan Herman's explanation of those changes on the SebWeb mailing list.

We kindly ask you to review the new version, and either

• renew your expression of interest (by a simple reply to this thread), or
• to close this issue if you do not wish to renew it.

Thanks in advance

up?

[tkuhn]

Sorry for the delay with this. Yes, I can hereby renew and confirm the expression of interest on behalf of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

For the sake of clarity, editing the title to match the new name of the WG...
