The group made the decision early on to merge the two specifications listed in its charter (RDC and RDH). The RDF-CANON spefication meets the requitements of both :
it defines an algorithm that implements an RDF Dataset Canonicalization function
it provies a standard serialization for the result of this function (based on N-Quads), on which a hash function can trivially be applied
