Evaluate existing RDF delta/diff formats

[elf-pavlik]

Once we merge #61 we should evaluate suggested technologies:

• [ ] https://w3c.github.io/rch-wg-charter/
• [ ] https://www.w3.org/2001/sw/wiki/How_to_diff_RDF
• [ ] https://afs.github.io/rdf-delta/
• [ ] https://github.com/solid/specification/issues/332

I've discussed some more alternatives in this issue.

One of the topics of 2023-02-22 CG meeting was to move this issue to solid/specification: https://github.com/solid/specification/blob/2cb1a31a47a6f6316918e67bbbd5b881b50fb23c/meetings/2023-02-22.md#evaluate-existing-rdf-deltadiff-formats but we didn't get to pick it up then. We can pick up both issues together in this week's meeting (2023-03-01). We don't have to close this issue just yet in case there are unique cases for notifications.

FYI RFC3229

[elf-pavlik]

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3229.html#page-22

Our proposal does not recommend any specific algorithm or format, but rather encourages client and server implementors to choose the most appropriate one(s).

True, but the way you provide diffs according to this standard is different from directly providing a media type for the diff. Instead, you provide media-type for content and an algo for diffing. Also, this technique would be general for both RDF and non-RDF resources. Thats what I wanted to bring to everyone's attention.
