Spruce supports the W3C RCH WG

[wyc]

Spruce Systems, Inc. expresses its support for the W3C LDS WG. We believe that LDS is a key enabling technology to more secure, open, and decentralized networks. It allows us to harness new advances in cryptography and data formats across different architectures and platforms. Furthermore, it helps us port more of the tacit yet crucial guarantees around information privacy, sharing, and authenticity from real world interactions to the digital world.

Thanks @wyc !

At Spruce we have implemented Universal RDF Dataset Canonicalization Algorithm 2015 (URDNA2015), and are using it for linked data signatures on Verifiable Credentials and Verifiable Presentations, with plans to support other kinds of linked data documents. We have also been experimenting with building linked data signature suites based on signing capabilities provided by existing applications:

• https://uport-project.github.io/ethereum-eip712-signature-2021-spec/
• https://github.com/spruceid/didkit-tezos-wallet-example/pull/1

We are excited to support the standardization effort.

Dear @wyc, the proposed charter has been substantially changed since you submitted your expression of support. More specifically, its scoped has been narrowed down, to address some concerns raised in the Semantic Web community. See also Ivan Herman's explanation of those changes on the SebWeb mailing list.

We kindly ask you to review the new version, and either

• renew your expression of interest (by a simple reply to this thread), or
• to close this issue if you do not wish to renew it.

Thanks in advance

up?

Spruce expresses support for the new charter although the scope is limited. We are still supporting a number of LDS algorithms that require RDF canonicalisation.

For the sake of clarity, editing the title to match the new name of the WG...
