Final Definition of WebID #72

Open melvincarvalho opened 5 months ago

melvincarvalho commented 5 months ago

It would be nice to have a final, stable definition of WebID and related terms.


The current new draft has:

WebID: An identifier in the form of an HTTP URI that unambiguously names an Agent and, when dereferenced, always leads to a WebID Profile Document which itself indicates that it describes the Agent named by the WebID.

WebID Profile Document: An RDF document that describes an Agent.

Agent: An entity that performs or can perform an action, e.g., a person, an organization, a device.


I suggest we make this into an W3C Note, assuming there are no objections from members, on the definitions.

Is there anyone that cant live with these definitions, or would want to change anything?
