!!! Overview [{$pagename}] (derived from "[Social|Sociality] [Linked Data]") is a proposed set of conventions and tools for building [decentralized|Decentralized system] social [applications] based on [Linked Data] [{$pagename}] ''changes the current model where users have to hand over [personal data] to digital giants in exchange for perceived value. As we’ve all discovered, this hasn’t been in our best interests. Solid is how we evolve the web in order to restore balance — by giving every one of us complete control over [data], [personal|Personal data] or not, in a revolutionary way. '' [{$pagename}] is modular and extensible and it relies as much as possible on existing [W3C] [standards] and [protocols]. [{$pagename}] is an vision of [Tim Berners-Lee] who, ''over recent years, been working with a few people at [MIT] and elsewhere to develop Solid, an [Open Source] project to restore the power and agency of individuals on the [web].'' \\ [{$pagename}] has ''taken a sabbatical from MIT, reduced my day-to-day involvement with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and founded a company called [inrupt|Inrupt, Inc] where I will be guiding the next stage of the web in a very direct way. Inrupt will be the infrastructure allowing [{$pagename}] to flourish. Its mission is to provide commercial energy and an ecosystem to help protect the integrity and quality of the new [web] built on [{$pagename}]. '' (2018-09-28). !!
