A long overdue standard has now been published at W3C: "RDF Dataset Canonicalization". Essential for security related operations with RDF Datasets...
Note that the standard is published alongside 8 full implementations, which is great.

👏 👏 Congrats to editors Dave Longley, @gkellogg and Dan Yamamoto for the newly published @w3c #WebStandard "#RDF Dataset Canonicalization"
RDF [RDF11-CONCEPTS] describes a graph-based data model for making claims about the world and provides the foundation for reasoning upon that graph of information. At times, it becomes necessary to compare the differences between sets of graphs, digitally sign them, or generate short identifiers for graphs via hashing algorithms. This document outlines an algorithm for normalizing RDF datasets such that these operations can be performed.
@ivan_herman Thank you all who were involved!
Navigating RDF Canonicalization and the various drafts, abandoned drafts, aged standards, and such has been a trouble to wade through.
I look forward to reviewing this
