Commons RDF (incubating) has been in the Apache Incubator since 2015, with an aim to graduate into the Apache Commons PMC. I think now the time has come to propose such a move.
This route was agreed with the Commons PMC at the time, and we have had good guidance from our mentors, including Commons PMC folks Gary Gregory, Benedikt Ritter and lately myself :) As noted in the 0.3.0 release today, Commons RDF aims to provide a common Java API for RDF 1.1 graphs and datasets. Commons RDF 0.3.0 adds API bindings for Apache Jena, Eclipse RDF4J, JSON-LD Java as well as a standalone implementation. http://commonsrdf.incubator.apache.org/ Now I think Commons RDF is stabilized and is ready to graduate to be a component under Commons PMC where we can do a 1.0.0 release to mark the spot. (Concurrent thread on dev@commonsrdf: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/760b2d58e344e51550dcc9f6452395efe72e97d3dc06169ef72f09c6@%3Cdev.commonsrdf.apache.org%3E ) I must admit that community-wise Commons RDF is not as strong as when the podling started - forming a uniform API across multiple implementations and use cases did mean many hard technical and semantic discussions which caused some people to withdraw for a while. Several has since returned as indirect contributors (e.g. code review). Now that the Commons RDF API has settled, and given that Commons has a "any ASF committer have write access" policy and an open development mode, I would like to propose here (and at dev@commonsrdf) that the component graduate to be owned by Apache Commons PMC.
