Data semantics is the study of the meaning and use of specific pieces of data in computer programming and other areas that employ data. When studying a language, semantics refers to what individual words mean and what they mean when put together to form phrases or sentences. In data semantics, the focus is on how a data object represents a concept or object in the real world. The concept of “Decentralized Semantics” is a representation of “data semantics” within an age of distributed ledger technology (DLT) solutions that continue to mould the current decentralisation movement.
Mission and Scope
To overall mission of the WG is to define a data capture architecture consisting of immutable schema bases and interoperable overlays for Internet-scale deployment.
The scope of the WG is to bring cohesion to data capture processes and other data semantics standards throughout the ToIP stack, whether hosted at the Linux Foundation or external to it. Other WG activities will include creating template RFPs and additional guidance to utility and service providers regarding both governance and technology discussions and implementations. This WG may also organise Task Forces to escalate the development of certain pieces if deemed appropriate by the majority of the group members and in line with overall mission of the Foundation.
