inaccurate description of Solid

[pchampin]

The description on Solid (https://identity.foundation/decentralized-web-node/guide/v0.0.1/#personal-data-stores) contains a number of inaccurate statements:

• "Open Specification incubated by Inrupt and now the W3C" The Solid specification was first incubated at MIT, then by the Solid Project, then by the W3C Solid Community Group. At no point was it in the sole custody of Inrupt.

• "A Solid Pod server becomes an OpenID provider." Nothing in Solid forces the storage ("pod") provider and the identity provider to be the same server.

  • "Data is encoded in graphs using N3 notation (a superset of RDF triples)." Data in Solid is typically encoded in RDF, using either the Turtle or JSON-LD format (see §5.5 Resource representation). N3 (more specifically a subset thereof) is only used as a format for PATCH.

• "Query Capabilities: The HTTP GET method allows for N3 Path Syntax." I'm not sure what this is referring to, but I can not find any reference to this in the current spec nor in the editor's draft.
