World Wide Web Consortium

The Linked Web Storage Working Group published a First Public Working Draft of Linked Web Storage Protocol 1.0. This specification aims to provide applications with secure and permissioned access to externally stored data in an interoperable way.

The mission of the Linked Web Storage WG is to enable the development of web applications where data storage, entity authentication, access control, and application provider are all loosely coupled.

@ropatrick People from the from Solid community participate in the LWS WG but Solid isn't referenced in the spec.

You can see more references to Solid as well as IndieWeb and Unhosted and history in the charter: https://www.w3.org/2024/09/linked-web-storage-wg-charter.html

@w3c this is fascinating considering how similar it feels to the intent around the Hydra CG’s nascent (and abandoned) spec. The main difference for me feels like abandoning in response body pagination for using IETF’s 8288 headers.

I think I prefer this, despite having spent last year implementing Hydra’s approach (in addition to 8288) for RESTful JSON-LD APIs.

Will have to mull it over, considering Team Community Process is suggesting shuttering Hydra’s community.
