[okfn-br] Fwd: Proposed W3C Community Group for Schema.org

[Peter Krauss]

Prezados,

*Tem alguem da OKbr participando/acompanhando as ontologias?*
Que tal participar/apoiar o Schema.org?

Além de terem deixado o Github deles bem mais ativo em 2014
<https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg>, estão devagarinho criando
políticas e mecanismos de participação mais intensiva, como lembrado abaixo
pelo atual diretor do projeto.

Subject: Proposed W3C Community Group for Schema.org
To: W3C Web Schemas Task Force <public-vocabs em w3.org>


A quick note about a proposed Community Group for Schema.org at W3C,
and its relationship with this list.

The public-vocabs list is nearly 4(!) years old already. Since late
2011 it has been framed as the mailing list for W3C's "Web Schemas"
task force of the Semantic Web Interest Group (charter at
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/interest/webschema.html).

During these last years those of us in the schema.org project have
used the Web Schemas group and the public-vocabs em w3.org list as the
primary list for day-to-day schema.org discussions. We have
experimented with various collaboration mechanisms during that time,
most recently by moving to an opensource codebase and extensive use of
Github [1]. As we prepare to launch the recently announced extensions
mechanism [2] we have realised that there is a need for a more
dedicated Schema.org-specific forum that can be used to coordinate and
discuss schema.org extensions.

Therefore I have just filed a proposal for a new W3C "Schema.org
Community Group", described as follows:

"The Schema.org Community Group provides a forum for discussing all
changes, additions and extensions to schema.org. In addition to
providing a public setting for the day to day operation of the
project, it serves as the mechanism for reviewing extensions and as a
liaison point for all parties developing independent extensions to the
schema.org core."

There is naturally some overlap with this broader public-vocabs group,
but the idea is that we will migrate all the more intense and detailed
schema.org collaboration discussions into the new Community Group
(while continuing to rely on Github to bring structure to our
discussions and sanity to our inboxes).

I hope many of the regular contributors to public-vocabs discussions
will join and continue in the CG, and that public-vocabs will continue
in the role initially outlined, i.e. as a high level meeting place for
all efforts to bring structured data schemas into the Web.

It looks like we only need one more person to vote for the group (we
have 4/5 already) before it will be brought into existence. Which
reminds me to emphasise that W3C Community Groups in general provide a
great mechanism for topical schema discussions, whether schema.org
oriented (like BibExtend, [4]) or otherwise. I'll keep this list
updated as things get set up...

cheers,

Dan
