Note also that W3C may start a new group later this year that would look at a
'lower' level HTTP protocol to manage (read and write) RDF data without
necessarily using SPARQL. This may be useful for the project as well.

I would suggest that at this stage we need to have a comprehensive understanding of all
the possible options.
1.Has someone published as page listing the best *summary* documenting and argumenting
each of the existing options. I suppose we will want a table indicating which existing
solution answers which listed need?
2. Since we have a W3C expert: what is the best document/book to get a comprehensive and
clear (not too massive) documentation on the semantic web?
The one which is probably closest to what WikiData would need is "Linked Data:
Evolving the Web into a Global Data Space", by Tom Heath and Christian Bizer.
It is actually readable in HTML freely:
http://linkeddatabook.com/editions/1.0/
For a more complete list of books, see also
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/wiki/Books
3. What are the relations with the JTC1/SC32/WG2? Is
investing time in their documents appropriate?
Honestly, I do not know. The JTC1/SC32 has no link to WG2, and none of their documents are
public:-(

Thank you!
