Is this spec dead? #41

Closed thake closed 1 year ago

I'm wondering what the current status of this draft is. The last substantial update was in 2020.

If it is still alive, are there any plans to make it an RFC?

Definitely not dead! The WG that produced it - DXWG - is about to kick off another round of updates and a move towards full W3C and perhaps IETF certification. Here's the current DXWG charter mentioning this: https://www.w3.org/2022/06/dx-wg-charter.html

Outside of that, the spec is used in a number of systems, for example the "Prez" family of Linked Data API tools, see https://github.com/rdflib/prez/

For an example of Prez online showing ConnegP, see the Australian Statistical Geographies Standard API, an example object with profile views:

So, alive and well, but, as is the nature of these docs, continued development is episodic but an episode is kicking off right now.
