Solid Community Group
The aims of the
Solid project
are in line with those of the Web itself: empowerment towards an equitable, informed and interconnected society. Solid adds to existing Web standards to realise a space where individuals can maintain their autonomy, control their data and privacy, and choose applications and services to fulfil their needs.
The mission of the Solid Community Group is to describe the interoperability between different classes of products by using Web communication protocols, global identifiers, authentication and authorization mechanisms, data formats and shapes, notifications, and query interfaces.
To contribute towards a net positive social benefit, we use the
Ethical Web Principles
to orient ourselves. The consensus on the technical designs are informed by common use cases, implementation experience, and use.
Solid Technical Reports
lists Work Items, information on how to Participate, and the Solid of Code of Conduct (in addition to the
Positive Work Environment at W3C: Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct
.)

The
Solid Community Group
has been launched:
The Solid project aims to improve privacy and data ownership on the Web through a proposed set of conventions and tools for building decentralized social applications.
The mission of the Solid Community Group is to try to reshape the web by fostering a new breed of applications with capabilities above and beyond anything that exists today. Participants in this group will create applications, author technical specifications, and capture best practices.
Participants in this group who contribute to the Solid code base should also review the guidelines and best practices for contributing to the Solid project.
This group will publish Specifications.
