how about to invite Wikidata? #92

Closed ppKrauss closed 5 years ago

ppKrauss commented 6 years ago

Hi, can I suggest something?

To invite Wikidata (or Wikimedia Foundation), perhaps as part in the board of this spec. There are Digital Bazaar, 3 Round Stones, OpenLink Software, ... But no ORG specialized in IDs.

The main example of free and general interest IDs are the Wikidata IDs, such as Q5 for the Person concept or Q14748 for the usual Table concept. Wikidata is in close cooperation with DBpedia, and work with OpenstreetMap, SchemaOrg and other organizations, that must to control IDs, and are in reciprocal adoption of the Wikidata ID.

Exampe: Berlin, the Wikidata concept Q64, is redirect (by OSM relation ID) to its polygonal representation as relation 62422 (and reciprocally OSM use key:wikidata), by european's Nomenclature of Territorial Units to the DE3 territorial division, etc. So Wikidata ID is the "sovereign ID" for some practical uses, as in OSM maps.

I believe that the Wikidata community can benefit from this discussion at W3c-ccg/DID-spec, and perhaps help to implement good use cases, etc. And inverse: this discussion will convince people in the Wikidata Community to better practices, as the managed of the JSON DID Document, etc.

Should also RFC Tor and Mozilla.

Closing, as this isn't spec-related, but if you'd like to pick this back up perhaps you could open an issue in https://github.com/w3c-ccg/community
