naturzukunftHave there been any further discussions on this? I think it’s becoming increasingly important!

Steve Bate@naturzukunft2026 No recent discussions. A year or two ago I tried submitting some related issues to update the W3C AP (really AS2) ontology but there was a lot of resistance to updating it for some reason that's mysterious to me.

I get the feeling that something regarding AP is being suppressed somehow. Which surely can’t be in line with the W3C’s intentions. Perhaps we need an ontology in a parallel universe. I have the feeling anyway that there are two camps within the community regarding RDF.

🫧 socialcoding..I don't think 'suppressed' is the right word, but rather think you are feeling the *inertia* of the installed base. A reluctance to spend time on enabling technologies, by the majority of fedi app developers who already figured out how AS/AP works for them. Who are thus enabled to code, focused on their own project and less interested to mingle in time-consuming discussion. On what they consider out of scope, less relevant than adding features.
@smallcircles @naturzukunft2026 I'm not sure "suppressed" is the correct word, but it wasn't an issue of lack of time. There was active opposition to maintaining the AP ontology. I have no idea why and it was probably a coincidence that the primary opposition came from a Solid contributor. At least a conflict of interest would make more sense than the explanations I was being given for refusing to merge PRs related to the ontology.
