Summary<\/span><\/h2>\n

An eventful 2016 draws to a close, steady progress has been made on standards, implementations and apps, for reading and writing to the web.\u00a0 Some press coverage is starting to emerge, with pieces on a decentralized web<\/a> and putting data back in the hands of owners<\/a>.\u00a0 Also published was a nice review and predictions for trends in 2017<\/a> on the (semantic) web.<\/p>\n

Linked Data Notifications<\/a> has become a Candidate Recommendation, and expected to become a full recommendation next year, as the working group has been extended slightly.\u00a0 Data Best Practices on the Web<\/a> is also now a Proposed Recommendation.<\/p>\n

In the community group a few apps were released and there was a renewed interest in WebID delegation<\/a>, with a browser extension produced that allows one to delegate authentication to a trusted agent.\u00a0 I also put together a spec, library and implementation for dealing with GroupURIs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Communications and Outreach<\/span><\/h3>\n

Some collaboration took place on the WebID front.\u00a0 There was also an innovative spec put together for working with X.509 fingerprints<\/a>.\u00a0 There was also some inquiry<\/a> of using WebID for cultural purposes with Drupal.\u00a0 And also an interest from divvy dao,<\/a> qbix<\/a> and others to implement Solid<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some neat slides were created by dmitri on understanding linked data<\/a> and an introduction to solid<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Community Group<\/span><\/h3>\n

A browser extension has been published<\/a> that allows WebID delegation<\/a> to function native in the browser.\u00a0 One advantage of this is to make authentication systems a point of flexibility allowing login via password, oauth or other services to a delegated agent which can then be trusted via PKI.<\/p>\n

I wrote a little spec regarding GroupURIs<\/a>, which given a set of participants in a group, allows one to deterministically create a new URI for that group, that can be generated independently.\u00a0 This leads to the possibility of things like group chat rooms being created dynamically, I have an implementation<\/a> and prototype<\/a> of the spec also working, which allows you to create conference calls with people you know over webRTC.<\/p>\n

\"solid\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Applications<\/span><\/h3>\n

A fair amount of work has been done refactoring and making production ready the main solid reference implementations.\u00a0 For example, the permissions<\/a> module is now standalone, and both gold<\/a> and node-solid-server<\/a> now support WebID with delegation, with gold also offering a proxy<\/a> server.<\/p>\n

Work has continued on adding openid connect to solid and there is a live test server that is prototyping the new login flow<\/a>.\u00a0 A new linked data server in perl<\/a> has been written by kjetilk<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0 The linked data document editor, dokie.li<\/a>, continues to improve, and as promised here, is a screencast<\/a> showing off the new features.<\/p>\n

\"ldfragments\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last but not Least…
\n<\/span><\/h3>\n

Linked Data Fragments<\/a> has now come up with some impressive demos using the Triple Pattern Fragment<\/a> technique.\u00a0 In addition to the endpoint on dbpedia<\/a>, kudos to Ruben Verborgh who has published<\/a> 25,000+ triples on his own site.\u00a0 And finally, an excellent integration with wikidata<\/a>, viaf<\/a> and dbpedia, all working in one browser, was created.\u00a0 Try it here<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
