As we didn't have a quorum in UWA to discuss POWDER today, I'd like to pose the following query... According to the POWDER primer, certification of DRs is indicated in order to elevate trust in descriptions. Who is proposed to provide/manage such certifications? Would this be the current SSL cert providers, for example? If so, who says that these providers are qualified to assess/create descriptions? Or is the issue of the environment in which certification is managed considered out of scope for the POWDER WG? The question was raised internally within my company when someone observed that this might be the creation of another "money making scheme", as some people believe the SSL cert providers have been given a license to print money. Comments and clarifications welcome. (Otherwise, we find POWDER intriguing, though we wonder what is meant by "use of arbitrary RDF in POWDER documents" in the recent request for feedback.) ---Rotan.
