The Open Government Community Group has been proposed by James McKinney:<\/p>\n
This group’s mission is to discuss and prepare data and API specifications relating to open government information, which may include:<\/p>\n
* people, such as legislators
\n* organizations, such as legislatures or committees
\n* people’s positions within organizations
\n* areas, such as electoral districts
\n* events, such as elections
\n* documents, such as bills or agendas
\n* speeches, such as those given by legislators in legislatures
\n* votes<\/p>\n
The group will base its work on existing standards as much as possible, and re-use existing terms (classes and properties) wherever appropriate.<\/p>\n
The group may define various serializations of the specifications, including but not limited to RDF and JSON.<\/p>\n
The group will seek consensus around, and support for, these specifications which may then be brought to an appropriate Working Group to advance a specification from draft to standard.<\/p>\n
The group will coordinate as appropriate with the Web Schemas Task Force of the Semantic Web Interest Group and other relevant groups within the W3C.<\/p>\n
You are invited to support the creation of this group<\/a>. Once the group has a total of five supporters, W3C launch the group and people can join to begin work.<\/p>\n In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on site-comments@w3.org<\/a><\/p>\n Thank you, The Open Government Community Group has been proposed by James McKinney: This group’s mission is to discuss and prepare data and API specifications relating to open government information, which may include: * people, such as legislators * organizations, such as … Continue reading
