Call for Participation in Data Interoperating Architecture Community Group
The Data Interoperating Architecture Community Group has been launched:
The Data Interoperating Architecture (DIA) Community Group aims to define an open and trustworthy framework for secure cross-domain data interoperability. It is dedicated to decoupling data from applications and supporting verifiable ownership and privacy-preserving data interconnectivity between heterogeneous systems.
This initiative builds upon existing Web and Internet standards and extends them into a data-centric Internet architecture, enabling data to flow securely and autonomously between organizations and platforms. The Community Group will focus on developing interoperability specifications for data identification, authentication, data authorization, and security compliance, thereby building a protocol-level architecture to facilitate the development and construction of next-generation Internet infrastructure.
The Community Group welcomes contributions from academia, industry, and standards bodies to jointly advance global interoperability practices. It will continuously evolve through iterative development and open collaboration, releasing reference specifications, best practices, and implementation guidelines to support the construction of a secure and trustworthy Internet.
In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account. Please note, however, that W3C Membership is not required to join a Community Group.
This is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2025-11-03 by Botao Peng. The following people supported its creation: Aiyao Zhang, Zhixian Zhuang, Yufan Fu, Yumeng Wang and Botao Peng. W3C’s hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities.
The group must now choose a chair. Read more about how to get started in a new group and good practice for running a group.
We invite you to share news of this new group on social media and other channels.
If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please email us at site-comments@w3.org
Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
