Description

With the advent of the DEIT, it is perhaps worth revisiting the question of how we present what Solid is. Here is my take.

Solid is

  • a vision of an inclusive web in which everyone has control of their own data
  • an architecture defining protocols and specifications for the new web
  • an ecosystem of servers, apps, and libraries implementing the protocols
  • a community of people working to further the vision and build the new web

[Edit : I switched #2 from "technology" to "architecture"
