What are the goals, timelines and deliverables of EasierRDF effort?

Hey guys,

IMHO to have everyone, including all the powerful members of the participating community of EasierRDF, working towards a shared goal it would be really great to define a roadmap.

I'm not trying to be too practical here or anything like that but I did look at the README, the "Projects" tab and looked around the issues and the mailing lists.

If a plan exists

• maybe it would be helpful to make it more upfront visible?

If a plan does not yet exist

• does it feel like the right timing to put the effort into generating one?

My understanding is that the W3C wants to improve interoperability between software systems and organizations, in a way that is general enough, to make easier for a publicly distributed ie. decentralized systems to show the properties of centralized system such as consistency.

I think one of the goal of EasierRDF could be:

More software systems adopt RDF as a foundation.

Toward that goal; we could setup a "success stories" and enumerate those projects and systems.

Many years ago W3C collected some case studies, but I don't know of a current collection.

I totally supprt @maximveksler . What are the main goals? What are the current main activities? A lot of things started, but it seems that almost everything except RDFstar fell asleep. Also what about SPARQL? How is this group aligned with https://github.com/w3c/sparql-12 ? It would be helpful if someone with deeper insight into the community could summarize the current status.

One meta-deliverable could be to make it easier to update RDF. See #88
