The Semantic Web project didn’t fail. It delivered—early.
What it placed on the table remains unmatched as foundational infrastructure for solving critical problems. What was missing wasn’t vision, but timing.
LLMs have now arrived. Which means a Semantic Web-driven evolution of the Web, as […]

RE: https://w3c.social/@w3c/116216070362563670
FWIW, I have been storing Linked Data (including ActivityPub) in an INI like format — because I find INI-like formats more human-friendly (to both read and write) than JSON.
YAML is probably better than JSON, too, in that respects. But I think […]

If vocabularies live in rulebooks, the question is: how does a credential tell a verifier which rulebook governs it?
@context: a machine-readable pointer from the credential to its vocabulary. Not embedding semantics — linking to them.
#LinkedData #W3C
@context lets sectors map existing vocabularies into credentials without replacing them.
Education: ELM. Automotive: Catena-X. Finance: sector standards.
All via URI, gaining semantic interoperability.
Only JSON-LD W3C-VC does this natively.
#LinkedData #VerifiableCredentials
EU's semantic infrastructure — ELM, ESCO, EQF, ELI — is European EdTech's global differentiator.
Only JSON-LD W3C-VC integrates it natively. Marginalise the format = marginalise Europe's competitive advantage in credential tech.
#EdTech #LinkedData #EUDIWallet
Education chose W3C-VC because cross-border recognition requires linked data — machines understanding qualifications from different jurisdictions refer to the same concept.
No other format does this natively. It's the one without regulatory support.
#LinkedData #eIDAS2
ETSI clause 7 offers three schema options incl. ShaclSchemaCredential — formal RDF graph validation beyond JSON Schema.
Without Commission adaptations, two issuers can produce incompatible W3C-VC QEAA, both ETSI-compliant.
#SHACL #LinkedData #W3C
@context in JSON-LD: every property links to an ontology via URI. Machines determine credentials from different jurisdictions refer to the same concept.
SD-JWT VC: flat pairs. mdoc: namespace IDs. W3C-VC: self-describing linked data.
