This is the repository for use cases for the RDF & SPARQL Working Group. It is being used to collect information on use cases and to drive the progress of the working group. A complete use case description will contain sufficient information about representation, querying, and reasoning to drive the activities of the working group and be checked against the group's recommendations.

A working group NOTE may be created from the use case descriptions.

Each use case will be assigned a member of the working group's Use Case Task Force to help the process of creating a complete use case description.

The first step in contributing a use case is to create an issue in this repository that will be used to track discussion on the use case. The use case issue should include at least a brief description of your use case, and you are encouraged to include more information. Comments in the use case issue will be used for discussion of the use case.

Each use case will have a wiki page that contains a clean version of the use case for those not interested in how it was developed.

All information submitted to this repository is publicly available. Please read CONTRIBUTING.md, about licensing contributions.
