About Solid

Solid (derived from "Social Linked Data") is a set of conventions and tools for building decentralized social apps <br>based on Linked Data principles. It's modular, extensible, and follows existing W3C standards and protocols. <br> <br>"Solid is a platform, built using the existing web. It gives every user a choice about where data is stored, <br> which specific people and groups can access select elements, and which apps you use. <br>- It allows you, your family and colleagues, to link and share data with anyone. <br>- It allows people to look at the same data with different apps at the same time." <br> <br>Read more of Tim's Open Letter to the community about Solid and Inrupt.
