Read the spec

The ᴛʀᴇᴇ hypermedia specification enables data publishers and API developers to describe datasets as collections of entity descriptions (a set of quads), called “members”. One or more views of this collection can be created. A view allows organizing the members into multiple pages or nodes, and these nodes are interlinked using relations and/or search forms. This way, a user agent that can interpret the ᴛʀᴇᴇ hypermedia controls can find the most efficient way to the members of interest.

The W3C Community Group

This specification is managed by the W3C ᴛʀᴇᴇ Community Group. You can join the public mailing list or join one of the online meetings.

The goal of the community group is to publish a stable and developer-friendly version of the hypermedia specification in 2024. Releases are made after each call, listing the consensus that has been reached during the call.

In case of questions, feel free to contact the current chair Pieter Colpaert.
